Table 2.
Statistical correlations of various summary statistics concerning the data between the two populations.
| Comparison | Spearman's ρ | Kendall's τ |
|---|---|---|
| Recombination distances | 0.59 | 0.75 |
| Average recombination rates | 0.50 | 0.66 |
| Heterozygosities | 0.19 | 0.28 |
| Nucleotide diversities | 0.55 | 0.71 |
| Tajima's D statistic | 0.20 | 0.29 |
| Number of non-synonymous polymorphisms | 0.66 | 0.75 |
| Number of synonymous polymorphisms | 0.67 | 0.74 |
All correlation coefficients are statistically significant. Note, in particular, that the average recombination rates across the genes correlate well between the two populations.
