From: A comparative analysis of L1 retrotransposition activities in human genomes suggests an ongoing increase in L1 number despite an evolutionary trend towards lower activity

Fig. 2

Estimated phylogenetic speciation rates vs. mean retrotransposition activity in cell culture among high and low activity L1s. The rates on the different axes cannot be compared directly since they are measured in different units. The grey bars show the standard deviation of the retotransposition activity (it extends one standard deviation to each side of the point). The values on the y-axis of the circles show the maximum likelihood estimates of the best model in Table 2. The triangle shows what the higher branching rate would have to be for the observed activities and estimated branching rates to have the same ratio between high and low activity L1s
