Figure 4. Ca. E. faulkneri strains L2 and L5 have very similar gene inventories and exhibit almost complete synteny.

Figure 4

Intergenic sequences are highly degraded, but still show a strong syntenic signal, indicating that they were once functional genes. (A) Venn diagram of homologous proteins in Ca. E. faulkneri L2, L5 and α-proteobacterium BAL199. (B) Synteny plot of proteins in Ca. E. faulkneri L2 and L5. (C) Synteny plot of homologous intergenic sequences in Ca. E. faulkneri L2 and L5 identified by BLASTN searches. (D) Synteny plot of homologous intergenic sequences in Ca. E. faulkneri L2 and L5 identified by TBLASTX searches (see Materials and Methods). aFor the purposes of the Venn diagram, the number of protein coding genes in Ca. E. faulkneri is given as 770, because A1OE_1073 and A1OE_1074 are both homologous to P856_600 (see Main Text).
