Figure 7

Horizontal gene exchange between phyla and species. Every node represents one genomic island. Links between nodes indicate a significant compositional similarity between sequences of these genomic islands. A) Colour code indicates phyla of host organisms where the genomic islands were detected. B) Grey scale indicates a relative time of insertion of genomic islands into chromosomes of host organisms. As lighter the colour, as elder the insertion.
