Table 1 Correlation and and partial correlation at 1 Mb windows. Correlation and and partial correlation between GC%, recombination rate (RR), and distance to telomere (DT) (negative log-transformed) for 1 Mb windows. Conditioning is performed on the respective third variable. (A) regardless of coding status; (B) non-coding only.

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