Table 6 Correlation/partial correlation between GC%, RR, DT and NE. In addition, the first-order partial correlations for RR-NE and DT-NE pairs are shown, whereas the first order partial correlations between the other variables had been already shown above.

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