Figure 5.

Comparison of the 16S gene of B-F and N-A bacteria from synthetic unzipping force signals. (Upper two plots) Equilibrium forces calculated from the 16S gene of the B-F (blue) and N-A (red) bacteria before (upper) and after (lower) alignment of the force signals. (Middle) Basepair free energies inferred from the aligned force signals with the SP procedure. (Lower) Basepair free energies computed from the aligned sequences and Mfold at 150 mM NaCl, averaged on a 30 bp sliding window; mismatch positions are shown with black crosses.
