average distance between genes

The average distance between genes is 118 bp.
The protein-coding genes (87.8% of the
genome) can be assigned to 22 functional
groups (see gene function color code at the
bottom of the figure). Among these are 45 genes
with recognized regulatory functions (1.05% of
the total); 243 genes for energy metabolism
(5.67%); 115 genes for DNA replication, recombination,
and repair (2.68%); 255 genes for transcription,
RNA synthesis, and metabolism
(5.94%); 182 genes for translation (4.24%); 131
genes for amino acid biosynthesis and metabolism
(3.06%); and 58 genes for nucleotide biosynthesis
and metabolism (1.35%).
