Figure 5

Nucleotide diversity and cytosine methylation throughout SSUsat monomer sequence. Sliding window analysis of the distribution of the nucleotide diversity (a), computed using a 10 bp overlapping sliding window, along the SSUsat sequence showing conserved (pinkish) and variable (yellowish) regions; the red lines indicate mean (±2 SD) diversity (Pi). The same type of analysis applied to the proportion of methylated cytosines (b), also computed using a 10 bp overlapping sliding window, for direct (green line) and complementary (blue line) strands of the SSUsat; red lines indicate mean (+2 SD) methylation values.
