Identification of divergent genomic regions by plotting and highlighting. In this example the genome of Synechococcus sp. WH8102 was analysed. The parameters n0_4mer:D, n1_4mer:RV and n0_4mer:PS were selected for the X, Y and Z axes, respectively. The genomic regions covering the giant gene for the surface protein SwmB [29] were highlighted by entering the coordinates of this gene into the 'Mark loci by coordinates' dialog. The genomic regions enriched with i) housekeeping genes; ii) genes for ribosomal proteins; iii) vestigial genetic elements (comprising pseudogenes, transposons, prophages and IS-elements) are indicated.
