Mutations were identified by comparing the Archival genome to a previously sequenced Modern reference [21]. By comparing the mutational state (Archival or Modern) at each site to other previously sequenced strains of M. extorquens (see Methods), all but two mutations can be unambiguously traced as having occurred on the branch from the Ancestral to Modern AM1 (Figure 1). The effect of nonsynonymous mutations on coding regions are highlighted in bold and italic.
