Comparative Genomics Reveals Pathogenicity-Related Loci in Shewanella algae

Figure 2

Circular genomes representation map and genome comparison of Shewanella algae (CHL, ACCC, MARS 14, and YHL). Predicted coding sequences (CDSs) are assigned various colors with respect to cellular functions. Circles show, from the outermost to the innermost, (1) DNA coordinates; (2, 3) function-based color-coded mapping of the CDSs predicted on the forward and reverse strands of the S. algae CHL genome, respectively; (4) orthologous CDSs shared between S. algae CHL and S. algae ACCC; (5) S. algae CHL-specific CDSs, compared with S. algae ACCC; (6) orthologous CDSs shared between S. algae CHL and S. algae MARS 14; (7) S. algae CHL-specific CDSs, compared with S. algae MARS 14; (8) orthologous CDSs shared between S. algae CHL and S. algae YHL; (9) S. algae CHL-specific CDSs, compared with S. algae YHL; (10) GC plot with regions above and below average in green and violet; (11) GC skew showing regions above and below average in yellow and light blue. This figure was plotted in Scalable Vector Graphics format via an in-house script, which calculates the radius and ribbon width according to the BLAST alignments and adds colors by COG classification of all orthogonal genes.
