Model of R-M system influence on the underrepresentation of its site. a denotes the moment of acquiring a new R-M system. b is the persistence period of the R-M system in the genome, which leads to the underrepresentation of its site. c is the period after the loss of the R-M system. The red circle is for R-M system genes, the blue line is for the genomic DNA, the dashed blue line is for the genomic DNA that lost some recognition sites of the R-M system
