Table 7.

Mean length in nucleotides of 5′UTR in genes with different patterns of TISs

	sAUG		dAUG		Correlation with dAUG conservation (Spearman’s R)
	Optimal	Suboptimal	Absent	Present	Correlation with dAUG conservation (Spearman’s R)
H. sapiens	205.03	261.79***	208.57	244.97***	0.09*
D. melanogaster	207.67	242.50*	208.99	244.49***	0.20***

Asterisks denote significance of difference between genes with optimal or suboptimal context of sAUG (Mann–Whitney U-test), between genes with dAUG present or absent among codons 2–5 (Mann–Whitney U-test), and significance of Spearman’s correlation: ***P < 0.001; **P < 0.01; *P < 0.05.
