Fig 3. Multifunctional genes are more broadly expressed.

Fig 3

Boxplots of the number of organism parts and/or conditions in which multifunctional and other annotated genes are expressed are shown for (A) fly (microarray expression data from FlyAtlas and RNA-seq expression data from modENCODE) and (B) human (GNF atlas and eGenetics expression data obtained from Ensembl). Colored dots show the means, notches show bootstrap-generated 95% confidence intervals around the medians, boxes show quartile ranges, and whiskers extend to the most extreme data points within 1.5 times the size of the inner quartile range. Multifunctional genes are expressed in a significantly larger number of conditions than other annotated genes (Mann–Whitney U test).
