Table 4.
Proportions of introns containing active genomic segments. Introns are separated to bins by their length and GC content.
| Bin 1 | Bin 2 | Bin 3 | Bin 4 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intron Length (bp) | 0–110000 | 0–110000 | 0–110000 | 110000–220000 |
| GC content | 0.25–0.5 | 0.5–0.75 | 0.75–1.0 | 0.25–0.5 |
| Proportions (percentage in parentheses) | ||||
| Functional | 399/424 (94.10) | 265/303 (87.46) | 27/29 (93.10) | 3/3 (100.00) |
| Predicted to be functional | 2249/2531 (88.86) | 906/1082 (83.73) | 10/15 (66.67) | 4/7 (57.14) |
| Not predicted to be functional | 6350/7383 (86.01) | 2060/2457 (83.84) | 20/27 (74.07) | 4/9 (44.44) |
| Χ2 p-value | 0* | 0.2483 | 0.0664 | 0.2403 |
| Significant pairs by Tukey’s test | FUNC vs. PRED-NON-FUNC, PRED-FUNC vs. PRED-NON-FUNC, FUNC vs. PRED-FUNC | — | — | — |
Only bins with representatives of all three intronic groups (FUNC, PRED-FUNC, PRED-NON-FUNC) are shown. χ 2 p-values are before correction. Values marked with * are significant after correction for multiple hypotheses.
