Clock plots. A, Illustrative example. Each circle represents a pair of alternative loci (e.g. loci '1' and '2'). The gray vectors depict splicing linkage that is present but does not change with development. B, Mutual information clock plot for all 36 pairs of the nine loci in the fetal and adult cDNA populations. Pairs of loci are identified in the plot symbols by colors defined in the key. The reference configuration is the insertion for every locus. C, Dependency clock plot for the single pair of loci (25C, 26). orange: D(25C|26); blue: D(26|25C). D, Mutual information clock plot for the eight pairs involving locus 14: I(x, 14), ∀x ≠ 14. E, Dependencies, D(x|14), of the same pairs.
