Correlation between genome size and gene model features across insects (Holacanthella duospinosa, Locusta migratoria, Clitarchus hookeri, Timema cristinae, Zootermopsis nevadensis, Acyrthosiphon pisum, Pediculus humanus, Nasonia vitripennis, Tribolium costaneum, Bombyx mori, Anopheles gambiae and Drosophila melanogaster) and Daphnia pulex. AS: genome assembly size; ATL: average of transcript length; AIL: average of intron length; ACL: average of coding region length; AEL: average of exon length; AEG: average number per gene. Scale numbering was adjusted by dividing ATL, AIL, ACL and AEL by 10⁴, 10⁴, 10³ and 10², respectively
