Distances D between local n0_4 mer patterns and the global n0_4 mer patterns in the A) E. coli K12; B) P. putida KT2440 and C) B. subtilis 168 chromosomes. Local patterns were calculated for the sequence fragments of 8 kbp with sliding windows of 2 kbp. The 90% confidence interval of D values is depicted by horizontal lines. The loci with D-values exceeding the genomic confidence interval are considered as gene islands. The abscissa indicates the coordinates of the bacterial chromosomes as they were published in the NCBI database [27].
