Profiles of D KL differences within M. tuberculosis, E. coli and B. cereus. Profiles made from the D KL values of non-overlapping sliding windows in M. tuberculosis, E. coli and B. cereus. It can be seen that D KL values within the chromosomes are remarkably stable. B. cereus has noticeably lower D KL values than the other genomes indicating that the chromosome has a comparably more random base composition. The D KL values of a 50% GC content random genome are also included for comparison. For all chromosomes, the black horizontal line represents mean D KL .
