Multiple regression models for log mutability (per locus per generation) of genomewide and local microsatellite groups

For each predictor, the relative contribution to the variability explained (RCVE; see Methods) is indicated and the significance (log₁₀ P-value with Bonferroni correction for multiple tests applied) is given in parentheses. For significant quantitative predictors, red indicates a positive effect on mutability; blue, a negative effect. For each model, the multiple R₂ is indicated (adjusted R²’s were almost identical to multiple R²).

^aOnly (A)n microsatellites were used.

^bRepeat number was used in conjuction with its square root, the lower between the two log₁₀P-values is provided.

^cCategorical variable, the lower log₁₀ P-value is provided.

^dn.s. = not significant.
