Number of spacer divisions D as a function of spacer length s and modularity m. Modularity ranges from 1 to 6; each label refers to the line above it. Note logarithmic scale on the y-axis. The number of divisions increases very rapidly at high modularity: for example, there are more than 100,000 ways to divide 40 bases of spacer among four modules.
