Figure 4

Contour plot of the predicted fraction of represented genes for which gene specific information could be generated as a function of the number of clones (N) and the insert size (IS) for a prokaryote with a genome size of 4 Mbp, an average number of genes per transcription unit (R) of 1.8, and a minimal overlap between the insert and the gene of 100 bp. The predicted fractions are depicted in the plot on top of the lines by which they are represented.
