Duplicability-connectivity correlations vs. genome sizes and evolutionary relationship.

Abstract

<p>Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient () between gene duplicability and gene connectivity for six species: <i>H. sapien</i> (Hsap), <i>M. musculus</i> (Mmus), <i>D. melanogaster</i> (Dmel), <i>C. elegans</i> (Cele), <i>S. cerevisiae</i> (Scer), and <i>E. coli</i> (Ecol). The evolutionary relationship of the species is based in part on <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0044491#pone.0044491-Paps1" target="_blank">[46]</a>. Genome size (in Mbp) information for all species, except <i>E. coli</i>, were obtained from the Animal Genome Size Database and the Fungal Genome Database.</p
