Fig. 4: Late genes are more likely to be driver genes for adult cancers in humans.
From: Molecular evolution and the decline of purifying selection with age
The probability that a gene is associated with adult cancers is significantly correlated with its age of expression in humans. Significance was determined by a Spearman rank correlation (two-sided test). The line is the least squares regression, and the gray region shows the approximate 95% confidence interval for the regression. See also Supplementary Fig. 4.
