Fig 4. de novo consensus sequence matches in the human proteome.

Consensus sequences and instances of length 3–10 residues and up to 5 degenerate positions were generated and used to search the last 10 amino acids of each protein in the human proteome (A). This included alternatively spliced isoforms. The inset shows the total number of sequences searched and number of occurrences identified. For each set of sequences with a given length and degeneracy (e.g. 3–1), the number of sequences searched and occurrences identified are shown in the bar graph.
