—Effect of editing on protein size and hydrophobicity. This figure shows scatter plots between molecular weight difference and GRAVY score before and after editing for fucoxanthin and peridinin dinoflagellate plastid sequences (A), and peridinin dinoflagellate data sets, Pyrocystis lunula and Symbiodinium minutum (B). Spearman’s rank correlation tests (rho) are reported along with their significance. The trend previously reported for S. minutum, that editing results in proteins that have lower molecular weight and are more hydrophobic (Mungpakdee et al. 2014), is observed here, but not in any other data set.
