  1. In order to examine whether the various pairs of spectra (real replicon versus random permutation) differ from each other from a statistical point of view, we performed the Mann-Whitney two-tailed test. We also compared the spectra of the real replicon in the two datasets. For both, data set A and set B, the spectra of pSymA are clearly different from those obtained with the controls, where the gene order has been randomly permutated (p < 0.0001).
  2. The comparison of pSymA in data set A versus data set B shows that though differing from a statistical point of view (p = 0.006), they are closer to each other than to the random permutations. This may be attributed to the presence of the long-range correlations in both sets.
