Fig. 5. Indel properties of frameshift scarred genes.

Fig. 5

a The distribution of distances between indels that together form a scar. In the 69 scars that resulted from exactly two indels, the majority had a distance of <10 nucleotides between the two indels. b Gene segments are shown for indels in scars that had exactly two indels. Each gene is divided in ten equal segments to show the locations of scar indels in the genes. Each indel is shown as a filled cyan circle and the two scar indels are connected by a cyan line if they occur in different gene segments. The absence of a cyan line indicates that both indels occurred in the same gene segment. 86% of these 69 frameshift scars had both the frame-shifting and frame-restoring indel in the same or neighboring gene segment. c and d The gene-fraction below threshold complexity scores is shown for scarred genes (black filled circles) and the non-essential and non-PE-PPE genes that do not have scars (non-scarred NENP, faded green circles), with c showing data for LC and d showing data for H. The threshold scores (H = 0.932, LC=0.551) are the lowest H/LC scores in the indel pockets in Fig. 2a.
