Fig. 15.15 The ratio of non-protein-coding (dr-genes, Sect.
11.2.4
) to protein-coding DNA (drp-
genes) in various species. The ratio does not change much from
Nanoarchaeum equitans
through
Rickettsia conorii
(spanning 67 species) but begins to rise sharply with
Rickettsia prowazekii,
continuing to rise through 19 species, reaching the maximum ratio of 0.983 with
Homo sapiens
.
