Table 1 Correlations coefficients (R) between Propensity of Gene Loss (PGL) and Codon Adaptive Index (CAI) or non-synonymous substitution rates (Ka). The analysis is restricted to the genes present in the LCA2 that have been lost at least one time during symbiosis (Figure 3). All coefficients are highly significant (non parametric correlation test of Spearman; P < 0.005). N: number of genes.

From: Tempo and mode of early gene loss in endosymbiotic bacteria from insects
