Figure 8. Distribution of Average HMM Score Difference between GOS and Public (NCBI-nr, MG, TGI-EST, and ENS).
Only matches to the full length of an HMM are considered, and only HMMs that have at least 100 matches to each of GOS and public databases are considered. This results in 1,686 HMMs whose average scores to GOS and public databases are considered. The mean of the distribution is −50, showing that GOS sequences tend to score lower than sequences in public, thereby reflecting diversity compared to sequences in public.
