Figure 1.
Distribution of GC content in maize genomic and genic sequences. GC content was calculated for sequences from the cne1g maize random genomic library, for maize-coding sequences present in GenBank, for a random set of maize EST sequences from the DuPont database, and for a subset of the DuPont EST sequences that have high BLASThomologies. The relative abundance of sequences was plotted with bins of 1% GC content. The scales on y-axes refer to the total number of base pairs in each GC-content bin; DuPont ESTs are plotted according to the left y-axis, all other data refer to values on the right y-axis.
