  • a Information relative to random nucleotide frequencies: 25% A, C, G, T

  • b Absolute differences between information relative to random nucleotide frequencies and background information computed from Drosophila genomic nucleotide frequencies (28.8% A, T; 21.2% G, C). The sampling error (See Appendix 2) is also subtracted, but the final value is not allowed to be negative

  • c Relative entropy based on the Drosophila genomic nucleotide frequencies with no correction for sampling error
