Summary of the results of resequencing 522 fragments of the B. subtilis chromosome (each fragment is ∼500 bp long). The fragments were pinpointed by the methods described in the text (FSBlastX and ProFED) and were suspected of containing sequencing errors. The bottom line of the graph indicates the total number of errors (substitutions or insertions–deletions) found in the fragments.
