Figure 2

Representation of cosmid L9259 with sequence landscapes. The vertical dotted lines in the graph indicate the borders of putative repetitive elements. (A) Dotplot (word size 8) of cosmid L9259 against itself. If 8 bases are equal, a point is set. Repetitive regions are clearly visible. Regions containing copies of LST-RE [3], a 91 base pattern repeated in tandem, are indicated. (B) Sequence landscape of cosmid L9259 (l = 400). The x axis represents the position of each residue in the cosmid. It correlates directly with the position in the dotplot. The y axis plots the occurrence of each residue of the cosmid (the residue positions contained in a High-scoring Segment Pair) included in alignments with a minimal length of 400 bp. (C) As in B, with l = 50. Shorter repetitive elements are now visible, marked in grey.
