From: Evolution of protein complexes by duplication of homomeric interactions
Dimers of paralogues in the protein-protein interaction network. On top is a cartoon illustrating how paralogous dimers result from the duplication of proteins that form homodimers. The bar chart shows the fraction of paralogous dimers (gray bars) in four protein interaction networks compared with random expectation levels, obtained by 10,000 network randomizations by shuffling evolutionary relationships (p < 10-4; see Materials and methods for details).
