Fig 6. Identification of the “competence zone” of P. aeruginosa parS site.

Log2 of ratio of insertion numbers (normalized to the total number of reads for each experiment) of a mariner transposon containing a parS site and a standard mariner transposon in the ΔparS1234 mutant, calculated for 10 kb windows, and represented according to the distance from oriC. The black dashed line represents the position of oriC, the grey dashed lines the position of the ribosomal operons, and the red dashed lines the position of the parS sites introduced in the ΔparS1234 mutant presented in this study (Fig 2).
