P.2 right column top paragraph: "Phylogeny-adjusted estimates show that about 14% of the diversity in GMLs is accounted for by variation in genome size (Fig. 1b). For every additional 100 Mbs of genomic sequence, GMLs increase by about 1.07%. This positive relationship can be explained by the fact that genome size differences are, to a large extent, the outcome of differential expansion of TEs [transposable elements] and repeats [refs 84, 85] (see Additional file 2: Figure S2), which are typically heavily methylated." |
