Letters stacked by information.
Also known as: Consensus sequence logo, Information content logo
The diagram showing conservation at each position of aligned sequences by stacked letters of varying height.
Shows the conservation and composition at each position of a set of aligned sequences.
Contexts: Laboratory
Encodes two quantities in one figure — the column's height is information and the letter's share of it is frequency — so a tall column of one letter and a short column of four are read as different kinds of statement.
Contexts: Laboratory
A row of stacked letter columns, each column's total height giving the information content at that position and each letter's height its frequency within the column.
