Genomes with Ku appear to fix GC alleles at a greater rate than expected (either due to BGC or selection).

<p>(a,b) Genomes with Ku have, on average, even greater elevation of GC content over expectation than genomes without Ku. Expected GC content was estimated from polymorphism data. This signal is conservative due to observed polymorphisms experiencing some effects of BGC/selection (see <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1008493#sec008" target="_blank">Methods</a> for discussion).</p>
