Figure 3

Comparing the distribution of PAM distances separating pairs of orthologs shared between the proteomes of E. coli and four other organisms. Panel A (upper part) shows the respective distributions of the PAM distances for all pairs of orthologs shared by E. coli and S. enterica, B. subtilis, B. thetaiotaomicron and M. acetivorans, respectively. The color code is given in box B, which also compares the respective mean of each PAM distance distribution and the total number of orthologs shared by each pair of genomes analyzed in A.
