Figure 4. Comparative genomics of Bartonella.

The Bartonella genomes are shown with grey bands and the location of secretion systems, rRNA genes and phage gene clusters are color-coded, as defined in the legend. Note that eight genomes have been closed (names in bold font: BAnh1, BB, BC, BQ, BHH1, BVwin, BG and BT) and that contigs of the other genomes have been mapped onto these (Figure S2). Tblastx hits between genomes are shown between the bands, with grey intensity reflecting the e-value of the hit. Abbreviations: SSC, secretion system cassette; T4SS, type IV secretion system; T5SS, type 5 secretion system; GTA, Gene transfer agent; ROR, run-off replication; rRNA, ribosomal RNA. The tree topology is as in Figure 1A and abbreviations of Bartonella species names as in Table 1. A similar figure with only T4SSs depicted is shown on Figure S9.
