Scatter Plot from Scientific Research

Queen-worker expression bias in poneroids (xaxis, n= 10 species) and formicoids (yaxis, n= 60 species) for positively selected genes in the formicoid ancestor (red circle in Figure 3A): formicoid-specific DEGs in red, shared formicoid and poneroid DEGs in purple and non-DEGs in gray; the correlation axis (R2= 0.89) is steeper than the (dashed) equal expression diagonal (p= 0.0001); acronyms highlight ten genes with extreme positions and with higher caste bias in formicoids (see also text and Table S5A). See also Figure S3.
