Figure 7.

Distribution of predicted protein clusters across the F. graminearum genome. A Circos plot [62] is shown which visualizes the four F. graminearum chromosomes with ticks in kilobase (Kbp) units. The following bands for F. graminearum are visualized: (I) Recombination frequency (blue bars) and SNP density (line), (II) gene density, (III) GC content, (IV) set of 2830 pathogen-associated proteins, (V) protein cluster C7, (VI) protein cluster C8, (VII) proteins with the [SG]-P-C-[KR]-P motif. For each gene set, the location of the genes on the chromosomes and a heatmap in red shading for the gene count in 500 Kbp bins are shown. It can be seen that proteins from putative effector clusters C7 and C8 occur predominantly in regions of genome innovation.
