Figure 3. Comparison of gene synteny and genome rearrangements between Gloeobacter kilaueensis JS1^T and Gloeobacter violaceus PCC 7421^T.

(A) MUMMER alignment; colored rectangular blocks represent protein coding sequences according to COG functional categories. Lines represent matching DNA segments between the two genomes. Colors of connecting line segments are categorized according to % identities. (B) Shared orthologs identified between Gloeobacter kilaueensis JS1^T and Gloeobacter violaceus PCC 7421^T and their locations in the genomes. Lines connect orthologous genes and are colored according to COG functional categories. BLASTp E-values between bi-directional best hits are less than or equal to 1×10⁻⁵. Custom Python scripts were written to visualize these alignments.
