Table 2. Characteristics of the IL sample and the 200 random IC subsets and their IC complements.
Type of comparison |
IC subsets range (mean) |
IC complements range (mean) |
IL sample |
GC composition (%) | 48.5–56.8 (53.2) | 52.9–53.5 (53.2) | 53.9 |
Gene length mean (nt) | 1126–2186 (1445) | 1173–1203 (1183) | 963.0 |
Gene length median (nt) | 879–1563 (1181) | 1403–1460 (1436) | 873.0 |
The gene length median is the length of the gene in the middle of the sample that was sorted by length.
