Chromosome locations of the five T7 islands in Shigella genomes. The five islands, found between genome positions 200 and 3000 kb, are represented by solid blue arrows. Notice that the island T-2 was broken into two pieces and rearranged, one piece (T-2L) is located at around 1913 kb, another piece (T-2R) is at around 240 kb. The open colored arrows (cyan, green and magenta) indicate several major rearrangements (larger than 10 kb) between the two Shigella chromosomes. The region in the genome of strain 301 indicated by an open black rectangle contains an IS sequence and prophage genes but no T7 island. Black parallelograms indicate highly similar regions of the two Shigella genomes. Locations of the islands and the rearrangements are given in kb, but the figure is not to scale.
