Profiles of the PQSs found in the phylum Deinococcus-Thermus. (A) Plot of densities of PQSs vs. GC%. The red box plots represent the theoretical PQS densities determined from analysis of randomized genomes with defined GC%. (B) Distribution of PQSs around TSSs binned at 30 nts. (C) Distributions of PQSs on the coding or template strand in the orders Deinoccocales and Thermales. (D) Distributions of >4 G-track PQSs on the coding or template strand in the orders Deinoccocales and Thermales.
