Fig. 5. Significantly reduced DSJ expression in species with alternating mtDNA gene blocks organization.

Fig. 5

a Percentage of different species with alternating gene blocks organization within each phylum. b Number of analyzed RNA-seq samples per species for arthropods with alternating gene block organization. c, d Boxplot comparisons of log normalized expression between different strand junctions (DSJ) and same strand junctions (SSJ) in species with (c) or without (d) alternating gene block mtDNA organization. P value ranges are marked by asterisks. The p values were calculated using a two-sided Mann–Whitney test, corrected for multiple testing using the Bonferroni correction. * 0.01 < p ≤ 0.05, ** 0.001 ≤ p < 0.01, *** 0.0001 < p ≤ 0.001, **** p ≤ 0.0001. Each box extends from the 25th to the 75th percentiles, whiskers denote values within 1.5 interquartile range of the percentiles. Dots denote outliers outside of the mentioned ranges.
