Average GC content of rice and Arabidopsis genes.
| All three codon positions | Third codon positions only | |
| High GC rice genes (n = 6291) | 67.4 ± 0.05 | 80.4 ± 0.14 |
| Low GC rice genes (n = 7714) | 50.1 ± 0.06 | 52.7 ± 0.12 |
| Arabidopsis genes (n = 25625) | 44.5 ± 0.02 | 42.8 ± 0.04 |
The values shown are percentages of G+C. Standard errors are included.
High GC rice genes are defined as those that have a G+C content equal or greater than 60%. Low GC rice genes have a G+C content less than 60%.
