Figure 3From: Community transcriptomics reveals universal patterns of protein sequence conservation in natural microbial communitiesSequence conservation increases with mRNA expression ratio. Genes are binned by rank expression ratio: all genes, top 10%, 1%, and 0.1% most highly expressed. Amino acid sequence identity is averaged across all DNA reads per gene (HSP alignment regions only), and then across all genes per bin. Error bars are 95% confidence intervals.Back to article page
