Fig. 2.— — Comparison of protein length of genes with and without homologs in distant species. (A) D. melanogaster genes located in UR(B) with (Yes) or without (No) homologs in the mosquito genome. (B) Genes in the adjacent (Adj) regions with (Yes) or without (No) homologs in the mosquito genome. (C, D) The genes in UR(B) and the adjacent regions were split according to conservation in the human genome. The box width is drawn proportional to the square root of the gene number on each panel. The 22,971-aa-long protein encoded by dp (dumpy) and located in UR(B) was excluded from the data set. The shaded boxes show the first and the third quartiles. Solid lines in the middle of the gray boxes correspond to the median. The whiskers extend to the most extreme data point which is no more than 1.5 times the interquartile range from the box (R default). The nonoverlapping notches indicate strong evidence for a statistical difference between the medians.
