Correlation between prediction scores for orthologous genes. The highest prediction scores corresponding to 11,941 TPgenes in Arabidopsis have been plotted against the scores for their 10,275 TPgene orthologs in rice. Since there is more than one Arabidopsis gene ortholog for some rice genes, 12,359 pairs of orthologous genes were formed. The 9,976 orthologous gene pairs with scores in the same class or differing by one level in the two genomes (crosses) give a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.51 (dotted-dashed best fit line), while a value of 0.23 is obtained for all gene pairs (crosses and dots; solid best fit line).
