Column 1 (distance threshold) indicates the intergenic distance, in base pairs, of less than or equal to the indicated value. Notice that at the 0 bp threshold we have links connecting over 25% of the M. tuberculosis genes. As we increase the distance threshold from 0 bp to 100 bp we approach almost 75% of the genes having one or more links to other M. tuberculosis genes. |
