From: Minor shift in background substitutional patterns in the Drosophila saltans and willistoni lineages is insufficient to explain GC content of coding sequences

Figure 3

Relative rates of each of the six pairs of complementary nucleotide substitution in A) different noncoding elements from D. melanogaster, B) the saltans/willistoni group combined and D. saltans and D. willistoni and separately and C) in D. melanogaster and in the combined saltans/willistoni group. Three datasets were used to estimate relative rates of nucleotide substitution in D. melanogaster (see Materials and Methods). The rate of each pair of complementary nucleotide substitutions is depicted, normalized by the total substitution rate. Error bars represent the standard deviation due to sampling error only.
