Figure 6.

Correlation between GC* in noninverted regions (excl. chromosome 2) for the three species using the same bins as in Figure 4. The ancestral–chimpanzee correlations are significantly larger than the ancestral–human correlations for the 160-kb and 640-kb bins (evaluated using bootstrapping).
