Figure 5. Circular representation of genomes of different lineages/sub-lineages representative strains of S. epidermidis on SE2.9 (RESE lineage) as reference.

Colored rings represent different strains. The second to the outermost black circle represents the GC content (%) variations in the sequences. Location of regions unique to RESE lineage strains are marked by red in outer most circle. The ORFs encoded in these regions are indicated by their gene name as annotated in SE2.9 in boxes. Strains names with isolation source and accession numbers are listed in Table S2.
