Circos circular representation of the complete B. pilosicoli B2904 genome with annotated genes. The genome is orientated from the oriC and also displays the location of dnaA. Circles range from 1 (outer circle) to 7 (inner circle). Circle 1, COG-coded forward strand genes; circle 2, COG-coded reverse strand genes; circle 3, forward strand tRNA; circle 4, reverse strand tRNA; circle 5, forward strand rRNA; circle 6, reverse strand rRNA; circle 7, GC skew ((G-C)/(G + C); red indicates values >0; green indicates values <0). All genes are colour-coded according to Cluster of Orthologous Group (COG) functions shown in the key table; A, RNA processing and modification; B, chromatin structure and dynamics; C, energy production and conversion; D, cell cycle control, cell division and chromosome partitioning; E, amino acid transport and metabolism; F, nucleotide transport and metabolism; G, carbohydrate transport and metabolism; H, coenzyme transport and metabolism; I, lipid transport and metabolism; J, translation, ribosomal structure and biogenesis; K, transcription; L, replication, recombination and repair; M, cell wall, membrane and envelope biogenesis; N, cell motility and secretion; O, posttranslational modification, protein turnover and chaperones; P, inorganic ion transport and metabolism; Q, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, transport and catabolism; T, signal transduction mechanisms; U, intracellular trafficking, secretion and vesicular transport; V, defence mechanisms; W, extracellular structures; Y, nuclear structure wheat for cell division and chromosome partitioning; Z, cytoskeleton; R, general function prediction only; S, function unknown.
