Figure 5.

Genes that segregate strains according to their biological characteristics. The outer circle in both panels represents the genome of C. trachomatis D/UW-3/CX strain, where each bar represents a gene at its respective genomic position (light gray bars, forward strand; dark gray bars, reverse strand). (A) The tracks’ color scheme represent genes whose phylogeny segregates at least a group of strains according to their biological characteristics, i.e., each color illustrates a particular segregation (that may not be exclusive): full-tropism (purple), LGV strains (orange), strains from prevalent genital serovars (green), cosegregation of LGV and prevalent genital serovar strains (blue), genital strains (prevalent and nonprevalent serovars) (black), and ocular strains (red). (B) The tracks’ color scheme was maintained for the different groups of strains and represent genes that exclusively segregate a unique group of strains. For both panels, the outer and inner tracks of each color correspond to nucleotide and amino acid results, respectively.
