Adaptive Evolution Hotspots at the GC-Extremes of the Human Genome: Evidence for Two Functionally Distinct Pathways of Positive Selection
Table 2
Characterisation of gene subsets with differing intron/exon numbers and intron length, in terms of evolutionary rate and gene expression. Spearman correlation coefficient (= 0.58, ) was calculated for gene subgroups greater than 2SD (intron length/number and intron number/length) from the mean.
