Average value of CIB for genes belonging to ten strains of bacteria (consortium and non-consortium) and the COG database binned by gene length in bases.
<p>Each bin contains genes from <i>ℓ</i>-499 to <i>ℓ</i> bases in length, where <i>ℓ</i> can be read off the x-axis. The y-axis indicates the mean value of CIB for genes belonging to the bin indicated on the x-axis. Bacterial strains belonging to the same species are plotted using the same point shape. Strains belonging to the biomining consortium are distinguished by filled points linked by solid lines while non-consortium strains are hollow points linked by dotted lines. The average CIB values for the 2014 COG database are plotted as crosses linked by a red solid line.</p
