No. of tissues where gene are expressed CDS
GC level (%) Size (bp)
0–1 (n = 765) 56.22 ± 8.26 1254 ± 1065
2–5 (n = 853) 54.69 ± 7.75 1478 ± 1305
6–10 (n = 451) 54.04 ± 7.22 1541 ± 1638
11–14 (n = 203) 54.15 ± 6.89 1523 ± 1709
15–19 (n = 127) 52.68 ± 6.63 930 ± 619
  • Relationship according to tissue distribution breadth = mean value ± s.d.. The number of genes is indicated for each sample.
