From: Partial correlation analysis indicates causal relationships between GC-content, exon density and recombination rate in the human genome

Figure 1

Causal graph models or their skeleton for GC-content, recombination-rate, number-of-exons, and distance-to-telomere. (A) Relationship graph for GC%, RR, -log(DT) that is inferred from the correlations in Table 1. (B) Causal graph for GC%, RR, NE that is inferred from the correlations in Table 5. (C) Partially directed graph for GC%, RR, -log(DT), and NE that is consistent with the result in Table 6. All edges/arrows are highly significant. (D) A hypothetical model including an extra variable NCO/R: proportion of non-crossing-over events. This model may help to orient the previously undirected edges.
