Entropic profile (EP) for sequence Hi – complete genome of H. influenzae. a) and b) Analysis of position 36532 (from the beginning of replication). c) and d) Detail for the EP for positions 36200 to 38200 and 36500 to 36600. The highest peaks in the EP correspond to uptake signal sequences (USS+) 5'-AAGTGCCGGT-3', its reverse complement (USS-) 5'-ACCGCACTT-3' and related motifs, such as AGTGCGGT and AAGTGCGG. The Chi sites are not particularly well conserved neither overexpressed [24] and therefore are not easily detected with this approach.
