Figure 2

The origin of human unitary pseudogenes in the paralogous gene sets. The human unitary pseudogenes with annotation from orthologous mouse genes are assigned to human paralogous gene sets, whose names are shown in the middle. The number of human unitary pseudogenes in each paralogous gene set and the number of members in each paralogous gene set are plotted as green and blue bars, respectively. Five unitary pseudogenes with uninformative annotation are denoted with question marks. Unitary pseudogenes without close paralogs are enclosed by dashed lines. The unitary pseudogenes from the tandem gene families are indicated by gray bars. Inset: box plot of the number of human unitary pseudogenes in each paralogous gene set and the number of members in each paralogous gene set.
