[i] Error bars for μ, ν, and λ are within 10%, respectively. The pairs were subject to the additional constraints that the intergenic region was between 70 and 500 bp in length; and for the convergent pairs, without obvious conserved blocks (i.e., max score <12). At least a kb of sequence was fit in all cases.
