Sequence conservation of the brain-expressed and testis-expressed transcripts between humans and macaques. For the RefSeq homologs (control), the non-synonymous (K_a) and synonymous (K_s) substitution rates were estimated using the Li-Pamilo-Bianchi method [48]. The substitution rates in the intergenic and intronic transcripts were estimated using Kimura's two parameter methods [55]. The heights of the boxes represent the lower and upper quartile points, and the whiskers show the minimum and maximum points.
