Average lengths of intergenic regions (vertical axis) as a function of the total number of genes (horizontal axis) for intra-operonic regions (red), NR regions (blue), SR regions (green), and DR regions (red) across all sequenced bacteria. Each dot corresponds to one genome. Both axes are shown on logarithmic scale. The horizontal lines correspond to average region lengths averaged over all genomes.
