Correlation between genetic distance matrices of a pair of protein families.

<p>To investigate the correlated evolution of the adaptor protein chains with clathrin heavy chain the genetic distance matrices were generated for the orthologous sequences of every chain and compared to that of clathrin heavy chain. The comparison of the two matrices was expressed as Pearson correlation coefficient value computed. The figure summarizes the comparison of the Pearson correlation coefficients obtained for all the subunits of adaptor proteins when compared with clathrin heavy chain (as listed on X-axis).
