(A) CpG and (B) UpA representation in mammalian interferon genes. Comparison of dinucleotide representations of IFN-α, IFN-β, and IFN-γ in mammalian species with the bulk human mRNA transcriptome (IFN gene accession numbers and host species are listed in Supplemental Data Table S8). Differences in values over defined G + C content ranges specific for each IFN gene class were analyzed using the independent samples t-test.
