From: Rapid and asymmetric divergence of duplicate genes in the human gene coexpression network

Figure 7

Asymmetric 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.
