Figure 2

HMM histograms of epithelial cadherin. This figure shows the HMM histograms of epithelial cadherin with varying window widths (w). The x-axis represents the starting position of the window in the MSA of the subfamily; the y-axis represents the number of times that window was found in the cadherin superfamily database. The shape of the HMM histogram becomes smoother as the size of w increases from 20 to 40 to 80 residues because the score is calculated over a larger region.
