Table 4.

Summary of the total number of sites, substitutions and substitutions per site at synonymous and noncoding regions, substitutions involving CpGs, relative proportion of substitutions involving CpG dinucleotides and the number of substitutions per site without the influence of CpG dinucleotides

Total sites Total substitutions Substitutions per site Substitutions involving CpGs Proportion of substitutions involving CpGs Substitutions per site sans CpG
Synonymous 286,995 7,394 0.026 2,262 0.31 0.018
Noncoding 3,767,771 68,602 0.018 8,212 0.12 0.016

Chi-Square comparing the relative proportion of substitutions involving CpG dinucleotides at synonymous and noncoding sites χ2 = 1,300, p < 0.001 and substitutions that did not involve CpG dinucleotides χ2 = 55.7, p < 0.001
