SRVs for Corynebacterium genus. Histogram of the SRVs (multiplied by 100 to gain percent values) resulting from the comparison of two Corynebacterium strains. There is no clear peak at the high score region of the histogram. The lowest scoring window is found at positions 90 – 100 and the lowest single value is found at 98%. In this comparison the vast majority of all BLAST hits would be left out. For this reason the cutoff for genome comparisons showing no bimodal distribution is automatically set to 35%.
