Figure 6. Common mutations in the clones of this study.

This figure shows the distribution of mutations in the four most commonly targeted genes in this study across the clones that we assayed. Note that mutations in the putative helicase (PA1372) and the two putative kinases (PA4673.15-16) are only present in plasmid-bearing clones and are responsible for the compensation for the plasmid cost. The names of the clones are displayed in the x-axis and clones are arranged according to populations.
