From: Quantifying the major mechanisms of recent gene duplications in the human and mouse genomes: a novel strategy to estimate gene duplication rates

Figure 3

Gene duplication rate via unequal crossover. The rates are the slopes of the linear functions (colored lines) fitted to the curves of the cumulative distributions of tandemly arrayed genes (TAGs). Parameter estimates of the linear functions are shown in Table 1. (a) TAGs in two-copy families. The NEW gene set is plotted in bold broken lines, the linear functions of which are Hn and Mn (red). The FAM2 gene set was plotted in bold lines, the linear functions of which are Hp1 and Mp1 (red) for the part with Ks ≤ 0.25, and Hp2 and Mp2 (green) for the part with Ks > 0.25. (b) TAGs in the entire genome. The linear functions are H1 and M1 (red) for the part with Ks ≤ 0.25, and H2 and M2 (green) for the part with Ks > 0.25.
