Figure 3. (A). Ribosome read counts measures according to the biophysical model.

Figure 3

The green round shapes represent the ribosomes on the mRNA, which is depicted with a blue line. According to the biophysical model, segments of high ribosomal read counts are associated with regions more slowly translated (bottom graph). The orange double arrows represent the mRNA segments being translated in equal time intervals. (B). Inline graphic histogram calculated on real (blue) and simulated ribosomal profiles for low/high/proportional initiation rates (black/red/green) with zero noise level. The calculated median value of this measure is 88/2.46/2.39/2.38 accordantly.
