  1. Note: Only the autosomes of each genome were included in the statistical analyses; the symbols ‘↑’ and ‘↓’ represent an increase and decrease of the dinucleotide proportions observed (Proportionobs) in genomes relative to the assumed initial proportions (Proportionini) obtained based on GCini% = 50% (see Supplementary Table 3, Additional file 1), respectively; the values highlighted in bold exhibit changing trends incompatible with those predicted by MDM (see Table 2)
