The expression breadth (percentage of 30 developmental stages expressed) for the 34 Drosophila genes under study and its relationship to protein divergence. a breadth of expression across developmental stages at a level >0 RPKM; b breadth of expression at a level >5 RPKM; c \( \overline{\mathrm{dN}} \)/\( \overline{\mathrm{dS}} \) versus expression breadth (RPKM>0); d \( \overline{\mathrm{dN}} \)/\( \overline{\mathrm{dS}} \) versus expression breadth (RPKM>5). The 30 tissues and stages are provided in Table S8. For A-B, genes are listed on the X-axis in the same order as presented in Table 2, from highest to lowest \( \overline{\mathrm{dN}} \)/\( \overline{\mathrm{dS}} \) within each of the four categories of genes. Gene names associated with each dN/dS point are provided in Table 2.
