Fig. 2: Evolutionary characteristic and expression profile of age-associated genes.

From: An analysis of aging-related genes derived from the Genotype-Tissue Expression project (GTEx)

Fig. 2

Box plots and bar graphs show UAGs, DAGs and NAGs compared in the following characteristics: a dN/dS ratio of each human–mouse homolog gene. b Number of homologous genes. c Origin in phyletic evolution. d Average expression level across tissues. e Tissue specificity of gene expression. f Earliest expression stage. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001 from Wilcoxon test
