Figure 2

Comparison of the distribution of the "GATC genes" with all of E. coli 's genes. The genes of E. coli have been classified according to the 15 classes used by EcoCyc. In this figure we compare the distribution of the genes containing a GATC cluster ("GATC genes") with all of E. coli's genes. (See Table 2 for the corresponding numerical data.) The distributions are different (p-value = 6 × 10-15): the "GATC genes" contain a much smaller proportion of "Hypothetical" genes, whilst the groups "Fatty acid/ Phospholipid metabolism", "Nucleotide metabolism" and "Energy metabolism" are overrepresented.
