  1. Spearman Rank Correlations of directed substitutions at four-fold degenerated sites (that to not change the non-optimal status) and of the proportion of AT->GC substitutions with gene length, expression, and various recombination measures, with and without controlling for an effect of gene position. Presented are also MR results of variables whose log-transformation did not grossly deviate from a normal distribution. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01,***P < 0.001, NS = not significant.
