Figure 4. Isolated periodic tracts of homology are recognized irrespectively of their nucleotide composition.

Figure 4

a, Schematic representation of tested partial homologies. 3H-8N' shares 17% gross random homology with 3H-8N; 4H-7N' shares 10.5% gross random homology with 4H-7N.

b, The number of mutations corresponding to segments containing 3-bp (3H-8N vs. 3H-8N') and 4-bp (4H-7N vs. 4H-7N') tracts of homology arrayed with the 11-bp periodicity.

c, The number of mutations corresponding to test segments with every second homology unit removed.

Data represent the mean number of mutations (per spore) over the total sequenced region. The number of analyzed crosses and spores is provided in Table 1. Error bars represent s.e.m. Mutation count distributions are compared by the two-sided Kolmogorov-Smirnov test: *** P < 0.001.
