Relationship between long introns and CE fraction. The percentage of long introns (greater than 200 bp) is correlated with the CE fraction ( C E R I + C E MathType@MTEF@5@5@+=feaafiart1ev1aqatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2Caerbhv2BYDwAHbqedmvETj2BSbqee0evGueE0jxyaibaiKI8=vI8viVeY=Nipec8Eeeu0xXdbba9frFj0xb9qqpG0dXdb9aspeI8k8fiI+fsY=rqGqVepae9pg0db9vqaiVgFr0xfr=xfr=xc9adbaqaaeGaciGaaiaabeqaaeqabiWaaaGcbaqcfa4aaSaaaeaacaWGdbGaamyraaqaaiaadkfacaWGjbGaey4kaSIaam4qaiaadweaaaaaaa@35ED@ ). The best-fit line is y = 0.84x + 0.00 (R2 = 0.73). In each of four major eukaryotic groups (animals, fungi, plants and protists), species with more long introns display a higher propensity toward CEs.
