Distribution of repeat sequences within the S. pneumoniae ATCC 700669 genome. a) The orientation of the CDSs flanking different repeat elements. Data are shown for BOX, RUP, SPRITE and IS elements annotated in the chromosome; the black bars indicate the orientations of all neighbouring CDSs in the genome not separated by intervening small interspersed repeats. b) A comparison of the distance from repeat sequences, including IS elements, to the nearest CDS, and the distribution of lengths of intergenic sequences not containing repeats.
