Average Divergence between Species

Figure WN26.3. (A) The average divergence between human and chimp, at sites adjacent to 16-base-pair windows of varying degrees of conservation. The horizontal axis gives the number of sites in the 16-bp window that are conserved between human, mouse, and chicken. (B) Same as in A, but for mouse–rat divergence. (A: Redrawn from Fig. 1B of Bush and Lahn 2005. B: Redrawn from Fig. 2B of Bush and Lahn 2005.)
