Figure 4.
Genetic distance differences between rabbit and human and mouse and human. Positive values represent genes in which the genetic distances between mouse and human is greater than the genetic distances between rabbit and human. Light blue regions represent the expected relative gene distances between the similarities between rabbit and human and mouse and human. Dark blue regions represent the relative distances in which gene similarity between rabbit and human is higher than between mouse and human. Violet regions represent the relative distances in which gene similarity between rabbit and human is lower than between mouse and human. The pie chart represents the percentage of genes for which the genetic distances between rabbit and human are lower than mouse and human (in dark blue) and for which the genetic distances between mouse and human are lower than rabbit and human (in violet).
