Number of overlaps versus the total number of genes in the genome for all genomes in the National Center for Biotechnology Information bacteria database (as of May 3, 2003). Plasmids (circles) and chromosomes (squares) are identified by Eubacteria (black) or Archaebacteria (gray) domains. Properties are correlated at r2 = 0.96.
