Figure 2From: Genome comparison without alignment using shortest unique substringsShustrings in Mycoplasma genitalium. A: Lengths of the local shortest unique substrings at every position along the genome of Mycoplasma genitalium. The lengths displayed minus one correspond to the lengths of substrings which are repeated at least once in the genome. B: The same as A, except that the nucleotides in the genome were shuffled (thus preserving nucleotide frequencies), which leads to the disappearance of long repeats.Back to article page
