Figure 5.
Genome-wide patterns of genomic feature density. (A) The mean values for various genomic features (y-axis) versus chromosomal location by the percentage of each chromosome's length (x-axis). Each bin is the average of the three chromosomal assemblies representing each lineage. Two regions of the chromosomes show characteristic differences in feature distribution: The first difference can be seen between short and long chromosome arms, and the second difference is between the centers and edges of chromosome arms. (B) Short and long arms show significant differences in operon size, the number of breakpoint regions, and dN/dS ratios (Wilcoxon rank-sum test).
