Figure 10

Average protein length for strong and weak operon gene clusters. The median protein sequence length over all 113 proteins for each of the 213 gene clusters plotted against median of normalised bit scores (see Figure 9). The legend text shows the median length for each group (weak operon 497.31 residues, strong operon 335.06 residues). This plot and analysis excludes ribosomal proteins; when they are included the corresponding number are 461.93 and 273.51, respectively.
