Genomic Distribution. Left: Bacillus subtilis. Distribution of locations of sequence segments of the non-overlapping 157 nt window scan of the B. subtilis intergenic regions. Location of all segments tested is depicted as grey. Location of segments with uracil composition between 0.2484 and 0.40127 and probabilities higher than 0.8 under the classifier LMFEGCRND are shown in red. Outer circle represents the direct strand while the inner circle represents the complementary strand. 72.2% (39 out of 54) of hits on the forward strand are located in the first half of the genome. 69.6% (32 out of 46) of the hits on the reverse strand are located in the second half of the genome. Right: Escherichia coli. Distribution of locations of sequence segments of the 50 nt-overlapping 100 nt window scan of the E. coli non-annotated intergenic regions. Location of all segments tested is depicted as grey. Location of segments with uracil composition between 0.23 and 0.34 and probabilities higher than 0.768 under the classifier LMFEGCRND are shown in red (please see Table 28 for more information on the hits). Outer circle represents the direct strand while the inner circle represents the complementary strand. 64.2% (34 out of 53) of hits on the forward strand are located in the first half of the genome. 60% (36 out of 60) of the hits on the reverse strand are located in the second half of the genome.
