Figure 3

Sine periodicity is influenced near the substitution site. This figure reveals influence of substitution and its context on three-base periodicity. To assess the influence, we gradually excluded entropies at positions near the substitution site in attempt to improve the fitting of Equation 2. The main graph shows the sum of squared residuals and the inset graph shows the R2. X-axis represents the excluded neighbouring-nucleotide(s) in fitting process. (A) indicates groups of all substitutions (square), transition (circle) and transversion (triangle), while (B) indicates groups of substitutions which occurred at the first (square), second (circle) and third (triangle) codon positions.
