From: The parasite Trichomonas vaginalis expresses thousands of pseudogenes and long non-coding RNAs independently from functional neighbouring genes

Figure 3

Comparison of potential coding capacities for the different sets of transcripts identified. (A) shows proportions of BLASTN hits with a given e value to annotated genes of Trichomonas vaginalis. Relative frequencies of CDSP were calculated excluding those e values lower 10−180 (the dashed bar illustrates the relation compared to all CDSP hits). (B) Distribution of the GC-contents in per cent, showing that CDSP behaves nearly identical to TVAG (TVAG representing annotated genes of the parasite). (C) Distribution of the sequence lengths of the longest ORFs relative to the corresponding full-length sequence. The ORFs of CDSP distribute very differently in comparison to the remaining datasets, while the intergenic regions behave similar to the PSEUDO and LNCRNA sets. (D) Distribution of stop codons over the relative positions in the full sequence of the reading frame showing the lowest number of stop codons. Counts were normalized according to total codons per bin.
