Extended Data Fig. 4: Distribution of young/novel genes in the group of mantle-exclusive expressed genes and the group of trochophore-mantle shared expressed genes.

From: Evolutionary transcriptomics of metazoan biphasic life cycle supports a single intercalation origin of metazoan larvae

Extended Data Fig. 4

Histograms show the distribution of young/novel genes in the group of mantle-exclusive expressed genes (blue) and the group of trochophore-mantle shared genes (red). There is significantly higher representation of novel or young genes in the group of trochophore-mantle shared genes over the group of mantle-exclusive expressed genes (one-sided paired t-test, p-value = 0.008).
