Figure 6. The Observed Relationship between ka/ks and ksThe observed relationship between ka/ks and ks corresponds with simulations that predict a negative relationship under neutral or near-neutral evolution of synonymous substitutions because of stochastic sampling of synonymous substitutions at in slowly evolving or young genes [61]. The plot shows the average ka/ks ratio on each branch of 290 genealogies versus average ks of bins of 50 lineages ranked by ks of each one. The last bin has only 20 lineages. Bars indicate the standard deviation of each bin. Image published in: Chain FJ and Evans BJ (2006) Copyright: © 2006 Chain and Evans.
