  1. (A) Spearman’s and Kendall’s correlation coefficients to assess an association between the fraction of the inhibitory codon pairs 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 the presence/absence of the inhibitory codon pairs. (C) Spearman’s and Kendall’s partial correlation coefficients controlled for GC content, tAI, dipeptide content, coding length to assess an association between the fraction of the inhibitory codon pairs and various gene expression variables. (D) Same as (C) but for the presence/absence of the inhibitory codon pairs
