Frequency of MRS in C. elegans chromosome I and various randomisations of it. Chromosome I was randomised using a mononucleotide process in non-overlapping sections of various lengths 10 bp, 100 bp, 1 kb, 50 kb, 2 Mb and the entire length of the chromosome, and MRSfinder used to identify MRS in each sequence. The randomisation and MRS mapping was repeated 1000 times for each section length. The bar height shows the average number of MRS in the chromosome and the error bars represent +/- 1 standard deviation. The actual number of MRS in C. elegans chromosome I is shown for comparison.
