Performance of the different normalization methods in the identification of deletions in L. lactis MG1363. Blue: number of deletions correctly called (here a cutoff of 1.5 fold is used). Purple: number of deletions missed. S-L: S-Lowess. S-L Sp: S-Lowess normalization based on the LCG set obtained from the comparison of L. lactis IL1403 amplicon sequences to the ORFs of three S. pneumoniae strains. The total heights of the bars indicate the total number of amplicons for missing ORFs in L. lactis MG1363 with at least 5 aCGH measurements. They thus indicate the total number of missing ORFs that could be detected based on the aCGH data.
