Regions of variable gene content between Nm10259 and Nm9418. (A–I) Gene organization in regions of variable gene content between Nm10259 (at the top of each panel) and Nm9418 (at the bottom of each panel). Genes are shown as arrows (white for variable genes, gray for conserved genes). Empty space between genes indicates an intergenic region. In the hisS-NMB0867 region of Nm10259, there are two copies of NMA1079 (B). (J) Distribution of each gene organization in the studied Nm genomes. Each gene organization, though distinct between Nm10259 and Nm9418, was found in other Nm genomes.
