Figure 1From: An intragenic distribution bias of DNA uptake sequences in Pasteurellaceae and NeisseriaeThe positional bias of the tested sequence motifs within genes. In each genome, the genes were divided proportionally into five quintiles (with 0–20% denoting the initial one-fifth of the gene beginning at its 5' end, and 80–100% denoting the 3' segment), and the numbers of the sequence motifs were summed for each segment. The sequence motifs are depicted with different length stringencies (8 and 10 bp): the US is 5'-(A)AAGTGCGG(T)-3' (the left two lanes per genome sequence), whereas the rcUS is 5'-(A)CCGCACTT(T)-3' (the right two lanes per genome). The accession numbers of the five tested genome sequences are NC_000907, NC_008309, NC_002663, NC_006300 and NC_009655, respectively.Back to article page
