The clustering analysis of genes gained by B. anthracis. The clustering analysis of B. anthracis-specific genes that were gained by B. anthracis. Genes included are those with obvious function annotations. Colour scheme: red stands for the absence of the genes and black for the presence. Note that genomes in the tree are labelled by their abbreviations: BAMES stands for B. anthracis Ames, BANSTR for B. anthracis Ames Ancestor 0581, BASTERNE for B. anthracis str. Sterne, BC10987 for B. cereus ATCC 10987, BC14579 for B. cereus ATCC 14579, BCE33L for B. cereus E33L, BT97-27 for B. thuringiensis konkukian str. 97-27, BL14580 for B. licheniformis ATCC 14580, BLDSM_13 for B. licheniformis DSM_13 ATCC 14580, BSUB for B. subtilis subsp. Subtilis str. 168, BHAL for B. halodurans C-125 and BCLK16 for B. clausii KSM-K16
