Figure 12: Human and chimpanzee KA/KS (ω ) in GO categories with more than 20 analysed genes.
From: Initial sequence of the chimpanzee genome and comparison with the human genome
GO categories with putatively accelerated (test statistic <0.001; see Methods) non-synonymous divergence on the human lineage (red) and on the chimpanzee lineage (orange) are highlighted. The variance of these estimates is larger than that seen in the hominid–murid comparison owing to the small number of lineage-specific substitutions. Owing to the hierarchical nature of the GO ontology, the categories do not all represent independent data points. A complete list of categories is provided in Supplementary Table S30.
