Figure 7From: Rapid and asymmetric divergence of duplicate genes in the human gene coexpression networkAsymmetric divergence in gene expression. (A) Plot of degree of one gene versus degree of another gene for 1,547 duplicate gene pairs with KS < 2 (inset shows pairs with both degrees below 200). (B) The same plot after numerical simulation of symmetric divergence with equal probability of loss and gain of coexpressed partners (P = 0.5). (C) The relationship between the difference in degree and time since duplication (measured by KS) for a pair of duplicate genes. Each point represents an average value for 40 duplicate gene pairs.Back to article page
