Figure 2

Plots of the E. coli genome made using different measures of codon usage. The four plots were made by using measures that allow an expected codon distribution to be specified: B, MCB, ENC' or MILC. The distance of codon usage of a gene from E. coli ribosomal genes was plotted on the x axis, and the distance of codon usage of a gene from the average codon usage of E. coli was plotted on the y axis. A characteristic 'crescent moon' shape is seen on all four plots. White square represent ribosomal protein genes, while all other genes are represented by grey squares.
