Note.—Rank correlations presented are pairwise partial rank correlations in which all the other variables listed in the table were included as covariates. Rho, Spearman’s partial rank correlation statistic; Ks, number of synonymous substitutions per synonymous sites between P. patens and C. purpureus GG1; Ka, number of nonsynonymous substitutions per nonsynonymous sites between P. patens and C. purpureus GG1; Gene length, physical length of genes in nucleotides in the genome; Intron length, physical length of the introns in nucleotides in the genome; GC_CDS, GC content of coding regions; GC_thirdcodon, GC content of third codon positions; GC_intron, GC content of introns; p, Benjamini–Hochberg false discovery rate.
