Distribution of ratios between barcode variations of all prokaryotic genomes and their corresponding randomly generated nucleotide sequences. For each genome, a corresponding random nucleotide sequence is defined as a random sequence of the same length and with the same mono-nucleotide frequencies as those of the genome, generated using a zeroth order Markov chain model. The variation of a barcode is defined as the standard deviation of the list of the averaged frequencies of all the k-mers along the genome. The x-axis is the ratio of the barcode variations between a genome and a corresponding random sequence, and the y-axis represents the frequency of cases with a particular variation ratio.
