Table 1 Average GC content of rice and Arabidopsis genes.

From: Rapid divergence of codon usage patterns within the rice genome

 

All three codon positions

Third codon positions only

High GC rice genes (n = 6291)

67.4 ± 0.05

80.4 ± 0.14

Low GC rice genes (n = 7714)

50.1 ± 0.06

52.7 ± 0.12

Arabidopsis genes (n = 25625)

44.5 ± 0.02

42.8 ± 0.04

  1. The values shown are percentages of G+C. Standard errors are included.
  2. High GC rice genes are defined as those that have a G+C content equal or greater than 60%. Low GC rice genes have a G+C content less than 60%.
