Partial correlation analysis indicates causal relationships between GC-content, exon density and recombination rate in the human genome

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Several features are known to correlate with the GC-content in the human genome, including recombination rate, gene density and distance to telomere. However, by testing for pairwise correlation only, it is impossible to distinguish...
