Figure 3From: Genome comparison without alignment using shortest unique substringsShustring probability distribution in the randomized genome of Mycoplasma genitalium. Observed and expected distributions of the lengths x of local shortest unique substrings. The "observed" distribution was obtained by shuffling the nucleotides of the genome of Mycoplasma genitalium (c. f. Figure 2), while the expected distribution is based on equation (1) using the genome's GC-content of 2p = 0.316 and length l = 580,074 bp.Back to article page
