Figure 3

Histogram of separation between locations of two reads of a mate pair on the reference genome. This histogram appears to be a combination of two parts. One part is a distribution peaked around the insert size of the mate pair library, as expected. However, in addition, there is a broad background. (A) E. coli data from SOLiD platform. (B) E. coli dataset, but limited to pairs for which the separation is around the peak region in (A). (C) P. syringae data from Illumina platform. (D) P. syringae dataset, but limited to pairs for which the separation is around the peak region in (C). Both distributions in (B) and (D) have large standard deviations, each around 20% of the corresponding mean values.
