Figure 5

Comparison of predicted versus actual codon responses. Both bacteria/archaea (black) and eukaryotes (white) show a very good fit between the model and the data (in this case, predicted slopes along the x axis and actual slopes along the y axis). The slope is 1 and passes through the origin in both cases, indicating that the model is an unbiased predictor of codon usage trends. See Table 4 for other comparisons.
