Evidence for Phylogenetically Controlled Correlation between N_e.μ Values and Splice-Related Genomic Traits.

	X	N	M
Log BF (Ne.μ_Pi ∼ Splice-related Genomic Traits)a	15.762	23.424	41.057
Log BF (Ne.μ_S ∼ Splice-related Genomic Traits)	14.572	22.590	39.944
Log BF (Ne.μ_Eta ∼ Splice-related Genomic Traits)	13.988	22.695	40.367
Log BF (Ne.μ_Lynchb ∼ Splice-related Genomic Traits)	5.290	0.989	−0.587

Note.—We employ our three different estimators for N_e.μ (Eta, Pi, and S) and Lynch’s single estimate. X, mean CDS length/gene length; N, introns per kb exon; M, mean intron size.

^aLog BF (log Bayes factor) = 2*(log [harmonic mean (complex model)] − log [harmonic mean (simple model)]), is the test statistic of BayesTraits which gives the information of evidence for correlated evolution: weak evidence (<2), positive evidence (>2), strong evidence (5–10), very strong evidence (>10). All Log BF values in the table are greater than 10, so the evidences of all correlations are very strong.

^bThis N_e.μ value is from previous study (Lynch and Conery 2003).
