Figure 5
An examination of the void sizes encountered for various codons (smORFs), or groupings of codons, reveals the stop codons very clearly as codons with anomalously lengthy stop-codon void regions. Shown in green are the standard ORFs (voids in the codon subset {(taa),(tag),(tga)}), which are clearly behaving differently from other codon voids (blue) when length is greater than 500 bases. The voids shown in blue are voids in the codon subset {(aaa),(gaa),(gat)}.
