Figure 1

Sizes of gene families in A. thalianaApproximate gene family sizes were calculated using single-linkage clustering of BLASTP similarities below E-value thresholds of 10-10 (red), 10-20 (black), and 10-30 (blue). At the resolution of this graph, these lines follow nearly the same path. The curves follow a power law distribution. The best-fit power law equation for the 10-10 curve is indicated on the graph.
