Fig. 3: Relationship between sequence diversity of the rDNA and the rest of the genome in diploid isolates.
From: Varying strength of selection contributes to the intragenomic diversity of rRNA genes
Correlation between the number of rDNA variants and a the number of heterozygous SNPs per heterozygous region of the genome (excluding rDNA)32 or b the loss of heterozygosity per heterozygous isolate. Pearson correlation coefficient R is shown. Each dot represents an isolate. The regression line (blue) is plotted with linear regression model. The gray shading is a 95% CI. Significance test: two-sided Pearson’s product-moment correlation. For a, t(412) = 12.77, p = 1.1 × 10−31, r = 0.53, 95% CI [0.46, 0.6]; for b, t(412) = −12.18, p = 2.3 × 10−29, r = −0.51, 95% CI [−0.58, −0.44]. c The number of rDNA variants per homozygous isolate (violin plot; red box plot inside shows the median). Each dot is an isolate. The center line in the red box plot is the median, box limits are 25th and 75th percentiles, and the whiskers extend to ±1.5xIQR. Source data are provided as a Source data file.
