Promoter sequence conservation across embryogenesis. a Variation of promoter sequence conservation for stage-specific genes. Higher phastCons score means higher conservation. The lower and upper intervals indicated by the dashed lines (“whiskers”) represent 1.5 times the interquartile range (IQR), and the box shows the lower and upper intervals of IQR together with the median. The number of genes in each development stage is indicated below each box. The multiple test corrected p values (Benjamini-Hochberg method) between any two stages are shown in Additional file 2: Table S2. b Transcriptome index of promoter phastCons score across development. The gray area indicates 95% confidence interval
