wavy patterns in different samples, we refer to waves that have positive correlation with GC as positive waves (Figure 2A) and those with negative correlation as negative waves (Figure 2E).

Three different window sizes, including 10, 100 kb and 1 Mb, are examined. Two representative samples with opposite phases are included. The local GC content appears to be best correlated with median signal intensity in sliding windows of varying sizes.
