Figure 1. Genomic map of ST131 E. coli EC958.
The inner circle represents the reference sequence, E. coli EC958, with scaffolds of the draft assembly displayed as alternating blue or red color in the inner-most ring. Outer rings show shared identity (according to BLASTn) with individual UPEC genomes and various other E. coli genomes. BLASTn matches between 80% and 100% nucleotide identity are colored from lightest to darkest shade, respectively, according to the graduated scale on the right of the circular BLAST image. Matches with less than 80% identity, or E. coli EC958 regions with no BLAST matches, appear as blank spaces in each ring. Rings indicate BLAST identity, from inside to out, between EC958 and: (1–5) individual UPEC genomes CFT073, 536, UTI89, IAI39, UMN026 (light to dark blue); (6) pooled ExPEC genomes: APEC O1, IHE3034, S88 (purple); (7) pooled EHEC/EPEC genomes: EC4115, Sakai, EDL933, E2348 (pink); (8) pooled EAEC/AIEC/ETEC genomes: 55989, O42, LF82, E24377A (yellow); (9) environmental E. coli genome: SMS_3_5 (lime green); (10) pooled commensal E. coli genomes: IAI1, SE11, SE15, HS, 8739, ED1a (teal); pooled E. coli K12 genomes: MG1655, W3110, DH10B (green). Black labels indicate regions that are known to be variable in E. coli genomes. Blue labels and arcs indicate RODs that appear to be prophage regions; red labels and arcs indicate known genomic islands (GI-pheV, GI-selC, GI-thrW, and GI-leuX) or potential new genomic islands (ROD1–3). The image was prepared using Blast Ring Image Generator (http://sourceforge.net/projects/brig).
