Partial correlation analysis of the three predictors of stationary GC-content (GC*) and base-specific substitution rates in the human lineage: current GC-content (GC), crossover rate (CO) and the distance to telomeres (LDT).

The R2 estimates of the multivariate regression analysis are indicated for the model including only the 2 predictors of recombination rates (i.e. CO and LDT) and for the full model (including the 3 predictors). Data: autosomes, 1 Mb windows. Crossover rates from HAPMAP. NS: non-significant.
