Autocorrelation in Divergence as a Function of Distance between Genes

<p>Each point indicates the correlation in the rate of substitution polymorphisms in the coding sequences of genes separated by at least <i>x</i> − 2.5 kb and at most <i>x</i> kb, for <i>x</i> = 2.5 kb, 5 kb, 7.5 kb, …, 100 kb. Correlations were similar for rates of substitution polymorphisms in intergenic regions (data not shown). ORFs, open reading frames.
