FIGURE 2.

Systematic deletions after each polymerized trinucleotide, resulting in nine del-transformations of the original sequence. The first indice number indicates the number of polymerized nucleotides, here three, the second number the deleted nucleotides, followed by the number of nucleotides missing at the 5′ extremity of the original untransformed sequence before the process of systematic deletions starts. The example refers to the first nucleotides of the human mitogenome NC_012920. Each delRNA type is followed by numbers of detected contigs and their total length, as previously described (Seligmann, 2015a, therein Tables 1, 2).
