Figure 3

Neighboring-nucleotide bias patterns for dog SNPs and interval evaluation. The color lines show the neighboring-nucleotide biases relative to the dog genome sequence average using 2,690,084 dog SNPs. For 30 random sample sets with size 38,000, we obtained their average bias ($\overline{B_{i,j}}$) and standard deviation (s_i,j) for each nucleotide at each position. The vertical bars represents the interval $\overline{B_{i,j}}$ ± s_i,j. The figure shows that the intervals at all positions cover the corresponding biases observed from the whole dog SNPs. On the x axis, a minus sign indicates the 5' side and a positive sign indicates the 3' side of the SNPs.
