Figure Lengend Snippet: Distribution of methylated canonical motifs and non‐canonical modified bases across various genomic regions predicted by the program SeqWord Motif Mapper for A) GaTNNNNNGtGG motif; B) AgGCcT motif; C) modified adenines; and D) modified cytosines. Each panel represents the distribution of various canonical motifs across the chromosome of A. borkumensis SK2. The graphs, from top to bottom, depict GC‐content, GC‐skew, and the number of methylated bases within 8 kbp sliding windows moving along chromosomal sequences with a 2 kbp step. Modified base densities in the lower histograms are depicted by bars extending above and below the average density line. Chromosomal coordinates are shown at the bottom of the panels. Identified inserts of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) are indicated by pink bars. Results of statistical analysis are presented on the right side of the panels, including Spearman correlation (SP) with confidence interval (ci) values between GC‐content and GC‐skew of sliding windows and the number of modified bases within the windows; Z‐scores with standard errors and estimated p ‐values of biased distribution of modified bases across MGEs and core genomic parts, and between coding, non‐coding, and 120 bp TSC‐upstream regions.
