Figure 1. Z-score vs. position.
The tRNA (K00228.1), length 82 nt, is embedded in mRNA sequence (AF452886, 22–270 nt) at position 170–246 (represented as a black box). The Z-score for the sliding window (step size = 1) is plotted vs. position. The Z-score value is placed in the center of the window. Three different window lengths (black-60 nt; blue-82 nt; red-95 nt) are plotted. The blue plot is a scan using the exact tRNA length (82 nt) as the window size. This tRNA was detected using window lengths as short as 60 nt and as long as 95 nt.
