Ambiscript Mosaic allows biologists to render sequence data using less space and with greater clarity than a Sequence Logo graph. Despite being half the height of a comparable Sequence Logo graph, the Ambiscript Mosaic characters can be used to similarly highlight conserved nucleotides in the E. coli lexA binding motif reported by McGuire et al.[14]. This is accomplished without degrading the legibility of infrequently-represented nucleotides. More importantly, the physical symmetries of the ambigraphic notation make it easy to spot the palindromic regions at either end of conserved binding motif.
