<SECT2 ID="DISPLAYMENU-GC-CONTENT"> <TITLE>GC Content (%)</TITLE> <PARA> Controls whether the GC content plot is visible. This is a graph of the average GC content of a moving window (default size 120 base), across the bases visible in the overview window.

This is similar to the GC content graph, but the plot is clipped so that the GC content of each algorithm window is shown only when it is more than 2.5 times the standard deviation of the GC content in all the windows.

This graph is similar to the GC content graph but shows the GC content of the first, second and third position independently.

The graph shows the correlation between the amino acid composition of the globular proteins in TREMBL and the composition of the base translation in each of the three reading frames.
