Figure 1.
Mykkeltveit embedding. The embedding is shown for the rotations of the k-mer ACACT, indicated above each plot. Each letter of the k-mer corresponds to a weight (in parentheses) placed at the kth roots of unity (red dots). The embedding represents the center of mass of the k-mer (black dot). The sign of each embedding projected onto the imaginary axis is shown below each rotation. In this example, ACTAC (red box) is the first counterclockwise rotation x with I(x) > 0 and is thus included by Mykkeltveit's algorithm in the MDS.
