Figure 10

Number of observed eMRs and their occurrences in Sulfolobus solfataricus, Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli. On each plot, red and green curves refer to eMRs located in the original genome sequence, while blue and purple curves refer to eMRs located in shuffled sequences computed using shuffleseq from the EMBOSS package [42]. For each curve, NbMR refers to the total number of eMRs observed for a given size and above (cumulative values), and NbOcc refers to the grand total of eMR occurrences observed for a given size and above (cumulative values). [a] displays $\frac{{\displaystyle \sum NbOcc}}{{\displaystyle \sum NbMR}}$, [b] displays 100. $\frac{\sqrt{{\displaystyle \sum NbOcc}}}{{\displaystyle \sum NbMR}}$, and [c] displays $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{{\displaystyle \sum NbMR}}$.
