Spearman Rank Correlations between frequencies of optimal and GC-ending codons with gene length, expression, and various recombination measures after controlling for a potential effect of gene position. The same 1571 genes were used for all measures. Presented are also MR results of variables whose log-transformation did not grossly deviate from a normal distribution. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01,***P < 0.001
