Fig 5. Lethality proportion of 702 Drosophila-specific genes.
A. Lethality proportion of 702 Drosophila-specific genes in 6 ancestral stages of extant D. melanogaster, compared to the lethality proportion of 10,652 genes older than 40 Mya. No stages show an essentiality proportion significantly different from that of old genes (0.189). B. Lethality proportion of 702 Drosophila-specific genes based on three origin mechanism catalogs. No catalog shows a lethality proportion significantly different from that of old genes (0.189).
