Fig. 4: Effective population sizes and the number of genes in gene families associated with DNA repair and recombination.

From: Genome structure-based Juglandaceae phylogenies contradict alignment-based phylogenies and substitution rates vary with DNA repair genes

a Effective population sizes of the seven Juglandaceae species estimated by PSMC. b The Ka/Ks distribution for R. chiliantha (red) and J. regia (blue). Ka/Ks is evaluated as the expected number of substitutions per synonymous site between the focal species and its common ancestor with the other species. The two-tailed two-sample Wilcoxon rank-sum test (Mann–Whitney test) was performed on the Ka/Ks distributions. ***P < 0.001. c Violin plots of the number of genes in gene families associated with DNA repair and recombination in the seven Juglandaceae species. The number on the horizontal lines represents the P value of two-tailed two-sample Wilcoxon rank-sum test between R. chiliantha and other species. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
