Synteny plot comparing the order of homologous genes (through their encoded proteins) in sequenced genomes of corynebacteria. The conservation between the C. jeikeium K411 genome and the genomes of C. glutamicum ATCC 13032, C. efficiens YS-314, and C. diphtheriae NCTC 13129 is shown by x-y plots of dots forming syntenic regions between the corynebacterial genomes. Each dot represents a CDS of C. jeikeium having a homolog in another genome, with coordinates corresponding to the CDS number in each genome. Homologs were identified by best BLASTP matches of amino acid sequences deduced from the 2,104 CDSs of C. jeikeium K411 with proteins encoded by C. glutamicum (3,002 CDSs; red dots), C. efficiens (2,950 CDSs; green), and C. diphtheriae (2,320 CDSs; blue).
