From: Immunity related genes in dipterans share common enrichment of AT-rich motifs in their 5' regulatory regions that are potentially involved in nucleosome formation

Figure 5

ATAA motifs are associated preferentially with regions of positive nucleosomal potential in A. gambiae (A) and D. melanogaster (B). ATAA motifs are present in all the groups of sequences analyzed, however 5'-US of immunity genes have more ATAA per sequence. ATAA distribution differ between biological and non-biological (artificial) sequences, which have less ATAA motifs and are associated primarily with negative values of nucleosomal potential. Standard deviation is showed. (NM:non-modified, DR:down-regulated, Random: random selected genes, Artificial: computer-derived non-biological sequences).
