| U | 0.389** | 0.061 |
| G | −0.892** | –0.033 |
| C | 0.199 | –0.010 |
| GC | −0.541** | 0.007 |
| A3s | 0.828** | 0.005 |
| U3s | 0.481** | 0.184 |
| G3s | −0.891** | –0.123 |
| C3s | –0.228 | –0.203 |

The numbers in each column represent correlation coefficient “r” values, which are calculated in each correlation analysis.
“**” means P < 0.01.
