FIG. 4.

Comparison of KIM and K-12 at the protein level. (a) Synteny of KIM and K-12 genomes. The backbone genes on each genome can be arranged in three different ways: genes in the same replication orientations and on the same replichores (blue), genes in the same replication orientations but on different replichores (green), and genes in different replication orientations (red). (b) Arrangement of backbone genes. x axis, the average ori distances of orthologous genes; y axis, the offset of ori distances of orthologous genes. Colors are coded as for panel a.
