Characteristics of elements and properties of different types of PASs. (a) Plotted the nucleotide distribution surrounding all identified PASs in a ±100 nt window. (b) Enrichment of the top three hexamers surrounding all identified PASs in a ±100 nt window. (c) The top 10 hexamers surrounding all identified PASs in a 50 nt window upstream. (d) Plotted the nucleotide distribution surrounding three types (as described in the Method section) of PASs in a 50 nt window upstream. The vertical axis showed the ratio of nucleotides. (e) Percentages of the top 10 hexamers in the 50 nt window upstream of different PASs.
