A) The correlation between GC content and genetic distance across both data types (r = 0.35; p < 0.0001). B) Analysis of covariance with sequence type, GC content and genetic distance. GC content contributes significantly (p < 0.003) to the variance in divergence, but there is an additional effect of sequence type on genetic distance that is not accounted for by GC content (p < 0.001). For both graphs, filled circles represent coding data and empty circles represent intergenic data.
