Recombination Drives Vertebrate Genome Contraction (original) (raw)
Figure 1
The relationship between recombination rate (x-axis, fourth-root) and deletion rate, insertion rate, deletion bias (deletion rate/insertion rate), and rate of net sequence length change (insertion rate – deletion rate).
In chicken (a, b, c, and d), zebra finch (e, f, g, and h), and human (i, j, k, and l). p<0.001 in Kendall's rank correlation test is depicted by ***.
