Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The megaplasmids and the chromosome from the bacterium Rhizobium meliloti 1021 were separated in preparative quantities by using transverse alternating-field gel electrophoresis. The genetic content of each electrophoretically separated band was determined by Southern hybridization with replicon-specific probes and by comparison with Agrobacterium tumefaciens transconjugants harboring either pSym-a or pSym-b megaplasmids. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analyses of PacI (5'-TTAATTAA-3') and SwaI (5'-ATTTAAAT-3') digests of the whole genome and of the separated replicons were used to calculate genome sizes in two R. meliloti strains. In these strains, PacI digestion yielded only four fragments for the entire genome. The sizes of the PacI fragments from R. meliloti 1021 in megabase pairs (Mb) were 3.32 ± 0.30, 1.42 ± 0.13, 1.21 ± 0.10, and 0.55 ± 0.08, for a total genome size of 6.50 ± 0.61 Mb. Southern hybridization with replicon-specific probes assigned one PacI fragment to the chromosome of R. meliloti 1021, one to pRme1021a, and two to pRme1021b. PacI digestion of A. tumefaciens pTi-cured, pSym transconjugants confirmed these assignments. In agreement with PacI data, the addition of the six SwaI fragments from R. meliloti 1021 gave a genome size of 6.54 ± 0.43 Mb. pRme1021a was calculated to be 1.42 ± 0.13 Mb, 1.34 ± 0.09 Mb, and 1.38 ± 0.12 Mb on the basis of PacI digestion, SwaI digestion, and the migration of uncut pRme1021a, respectively. pRme1021b was calculated to be 1.76 ± 0.18 Mb, 1.65 ± 0.10 Mb, and 1.74 ± 0.13 Mb on the basis of PacI digestion, SwaI digestion, and the migration of uncut pRme1021b, respectively. The R. meliloti 1021 chromosome was calculated to be 3.32 ± 0.30 Mb, 3.55 ± 0.24 Mb, and 3.26 ± 0.46 Mb on the basis of PacI data, SwaI data, and the migration of uncut chromosome, respectively.
