Horizontally Transferred Genetic Elements in the Tsetse Fly Genome: An Alignment-Free Clustering Approach Using Batch Learning Self-Organising Map (BLSOM)

Figure 2

Tsetse+Prokaryotes-BLSOM. (a) BLSOM using the degenerate tetranucleotide set for the tsetse fly plus 5,600 identified prokaryotes. Lattice points that include the sequences from the tsetse fly are indicated in green, those that contain no genomic sequences are indicated in white, and those containing sequences from a prokaryote are indicated in blue. Lattice points that include both tsetse fly- and prokaryote-sequences are shown in black. (b) Distribution of tsetse fly genome sequences. Only green lattice points are shown.
