Fig. 5: Gain and loss of antisense ORFs in D. melanogaster populations.
From: How antisense transcripts can evolve to encode novel proteins
A Most recently gained asORFs in D. melanogaster are frequently located in frame 1. Horizontal axis denotes the number of D. melanogaster lines that contain an asORF in their transcriptome (express), and vertical axis denotes the number of such ORFs. B D. melanogaster asORFs in frame 0 have a higher rate of loss. First panel shows total number of lost ORFs (vertical axis) whereas the second panel shows the percentage of total asORFs that are lost. In all figure panels, the three frames are denoted by three different colours (0: orange, 1: blue, and 2: brown). Source data are provided as a Source data file.
