Figure 5. Evolutionary conservation of genes differentially regulated upon germline ablation in C. elegans compared to P. pacificus.

(A) Significant overlap between germline-regulated genes in C. elegans and P. pacificus [2]. Fisher's exact test p-value  = 3.04E-49. (B) Most of the germline regulated genes in C. elegans and P. pacificus [2] also show similar expression patterns (Pearson correlation coefficient  = 0.7).
