Local exceptional symmetry by sequence type in the human genome. Box plots comparing the local exceptional symmetry values (V R median) using all chromosomes, window length, and word length results, separated by: human chromosomes (human), random scenarios with first order structure (without exact symmetry: mrnd, and with exact symmetry for k = 2: msym), and random scenarios assuming nucleotide independence (without exact symmetry: rnd, and with exact symmetry for k = 1: sym). The local exceptional symmetry in the human genome and positive control experiments (mrnd and msym) is higher than in the random scenarios produced without exceptional symmetry (rnd and sym)
