Table 4 Chromosome-specific correlation and partial correlation. Chromosome-specific correlation and partial correlation between GC%, RR, and DT (negative log-transformed) using the 1 Mb window. A p-value for testing zero-correlation is included only when the correlation is not significant. n is the number of windows per chromosome (i.e., sample size). Acrocentric chromosomes are marked by *.
