Correlation of the difference between equilibrium GC proportion (GC*) and current GC proportion with A per site and year (PY) divergence rates, B the ts:tv ratios, and C chromosome lengths (a telomere of the human chromosome 2 is highlighted in red). D Spearman’s partial correlation coefficients for all pairwise combinations of the three parameters: difference between equilibrium GC* proportion and current GC (gcDiff), per site and year divergence rate (PY), the ts:tv ratio (tstv) and chromosome length (L). Crossed-out coefficients are non-significant (p > 0.05). For each telomere, we consider four values corresponding to the four external branches of the great ape phylogeny. In total, we consider N = 100 estimates for autosomes (across 25 alignable telomeres) and N = 4 estimates for PAR1
