Distribution of block-wise distances between alignment blocks that contain ORFs for the bacteria and yeast data set. For the insect data invidual exons are considered since rearrangements as well as alignment errors within introns are not infrequent. The black bar indicates the number of broken ORFs/exons. The data is binned in three distance ranges: a distance of 0 (A), a distance of 1–100 (B), and a distance larger than 100 (C)
