Comparison of estimated lineage-specific divergence rates using the two D. simulans assemblies. The fraction of genes, by chromosome and site class, for which the estimated divergence rate per gene is different (greater or less than) depending on the D. simulans assembly used. Estimated rates for D. melanogaster are shown on top and D. simulans on bottom. (Right) The ratio of the number of genes for which the estimate from Dsimref  >  Dsimw501 relative to Dsimref  <  Dsimw501. Note that putatively neutral intronFEI sites correspond to bases 8–30 of introns shorter than 100 bp (Halligan and Keightley 2006; Parsch et al. 2010).
