In Arabidopsis thaliana codon volatility scores reflect GC3 composition rather than selective pressure

Table 2 High codon volatility candidates and their paralogs

	Gene	Function	Volatility (P- value)
Candidate	At4g15430	early-responsive to dehydration protein-related	0.0000041
Paralog	At3g21620	early-responsive to dehydration protein-related	0.0720094
Candidate	At4g31590	glycosyl transferase family 2 protein	0.0000044
Paralog	At2g24630	glycosyl transferase family 2 protein	0.8029084

Comparison of volatility P-values for most volatile Arabidopsis genes and their paralogs. Paralog information was extracted from the ‘Paralogons in Arabidopsis thaliana’ database (http://wolfe.gen.tcd.ie/athal/dup). The first two columns display the candidate gene, its paralog, and a brief description of their function. The last column is the codon volatility P-value.
