Positive correlation between G+C content and substitution rates. G+C content is the human-chimpanzee average. Substitution rates are summed over human and chimpanzee lineages, with data points representing nonoverlapping 5-kb blocks from the human-chimp-baboon alignments. The line gives the linear regression of substitution rates against G+C content.
