Pseudogene enrichment with increasing distance from IS elements in genomes of bacteria with different life styles. Heat map depicting pseudogene enrichment at seven distances from a gene or IS element in symbiotic and free-living cyanobacteria and in obligate or facultative intracellular bacteria. Pseudogene enrichment is computed as (avg. number of pseudogenes within [distance] of IS element)/(avg. number of pseudogenes within [distance] of annotated gene). Increasing red colours indicate a higher quotient. Blurred squared indicate that the difference in pseudogene enrichment between IS element and annotated genes is not statistically significant (p ≥ 0.05). Organisms with less than two significant points were omitted, as were those with no annotated pseudogenes.
