Codon usage bias correlates with TE of protein-coding genes in T. vaginalis. Genes in the four datasets (Fig. 1) were subjected to three filters to remove incomplete sequences (Figure S1) and CAI values calculated for each filtered gene. a Comparisons of CAI values of genes in Dataset 2 vs Dataset 3. Outliers were plotted as ‘o’ and notches were added to each box, indicating 95% confidence interval of the median. Statistical significance is indicated (*p < 0.01 in an independent t-test). b A Spearman’s correlation analysis of TE versus CAI for genes in Dataset 1 was conducted. The r, p values and sample size n are shown on the top left corner
