Indeed, we observed a moderate, though highly significant correlation between CDS length and fold change (FC) in translation (r 2 = 0.26; p < 2.2 × 10 −16 ), which produces a downregulatory effect for genes with long CDSs and, vice versa, an upregulatory effect for genes with short CDSs (Fig. 2 C).
