  1. (A) Spearman’s partial correlation coefficients controlled for GC content, tAI, dipeptide content, and coding length to assess an association between the fraction of hexanucleotide sequences corresponding to the inhibitory codon pairs in the 0, +1, and +2 frames and various gene expression variables. P values obtained according to Kim [16] and those based on permutation tests are shown. (B) Same as (A) but for Kendall’s partial correlation coefficients. (C) Same as (A) but for the presence/absence of the hexanucleotide sequences. (D) Same as (B) but for the presence/absence of the hexanucleotide sequences
