Figure 6

Relationship between pairwise d N (rate of non-synonomous substitutions) and d S (synonymous substitutions). The line represent ω = 1 i.e. neutral selection. A) White dots represent pairwise values obtained between AvBD1 and AvBD3 with their respective cluster of orthologous genes (see cluster A and B in fig 2). Black dots represent pairwise values between the non-duplicated orthologous genes (i.e. comparison between the chicken and zebra finch genes outside cluster A and B). B) White dots represent pairwise values obtained between duplicated genes in phylogenetic well supported clades. Black dots represent pairwise values between the non-duplicated orthologous genes (i.e. comparison between the chicken and zebra finch genes outside cluster A and B).
