Table 2 Individual maxicircle genes show different trends for GC composition and T:C ratios

From: Mitochondrial DNAs provide insight into trypanosome phylogeny and molecular evolution

  1. From an alignment of gene coding regions, aligned sequence regions were extracted and analysed in the reading direction for GC% (left) and the ratio of T:C (right). Extensively edited genes ([ ]) have greater GC% than lightly ([ ]) or non-edited (white) genes. Likewise, the T:C ratio is very high in some edited genes e.g. ND9, CR3, CR4. Shading as Table 1.
