Figure 2From: The evolutionary trajectory of the mating-type (mat) genes in Neurosporarelates to reproductive behavior of taxaMean rate of synonymous substitutions (dS) for mat- and non-reproductive genes of the heterothallic and homothallic datasets, obtained through pairwise comparisons between taxa in all possible combinations. Heterothallic and homothallic non-reproductive genes are statistically different from each other (P = 0.05, Mann-Whitney U-test).Back to article page
