From: Compositional discordance between prokaryotic plasmids and host chromosomes

Compositional discordance between plasmids and their host's according to the plasmid size. The proportion of genomic fragments of the representative host chromosome with a δ* value lower than that of the plasmid is plotted as a function of plasmid size. Note the logarithmic scale on the X axis. Thirty-five plasmids have a δ* value lower than that of 80% (values range from 29% to 80%) of the identical sized fragments of their host's genome (red symbols), while 42 plasmids have a δ* value higher than all identical sized fragments of their host's genome (yellow symbols).
