NOTE.—Each value is the Spearman correlation of BDS with the specified feature across blocks of the genome. Bold indicates a significant correlation at the 0.01 level. Blocks of 1 Mb were used for all species, except for fly (100 kb), worm (10 kb), and yeast (10 kb). The raw values for each feature were used; the correlation coefficients generally increase if the data are smoothed before calculation (e.g., see fig. 3).
