Figure 4

DNA matrix analysis of a contiguous 2 million nucleotide section of the M. avium (y-axis) and M. paratuberculosis (x-axis) genomes. Four 500,000 nucleotide matrices are shown with the nucleotide segments indicated above each plot. A long unbroken diagonal line from the upper left corner to the lower right corner indicates that the sequences are collinear. The diagonal line (in blue) that runs from the lower left to the upper right at the 350,000 nucleotide region indicates that one sequence is the reverse complement of the other. The arrows (in red) show sequences present in M. avium but absent in M. paratuberculosis and the arrowhead (in green) shows a sequence represented only in M. paratuberculosis. The initial nucleotide in the dnaA coding sequence was defined as number one in both genomes for this analysis. The parameters for this DNA identity matrix include: a window size of 30, a minimum percent score of 80, and a hash value of 4.
