Figure 6.
Different types of Leptospirillum group II spacer matches to all targets in the metagenomic datasets (excluding CRISPR and the host genome). The four types of matches include: perfect spacer matches with a PAM, imperfect spacer matches with a PAM, perfect spacer matches without a PAM and imperfect spacer matches without a PAM. (a) Plot shows relative abundance of matches from all spacers. (b) Plot shows relative abundance of matches from all spacers from the trailer end, limited to the region containing shared spacers (Figure 2). (c) Plot shows relative abundance of all matches from spacers from the leader end, limited to the spacers not shown in Figure 2. (d) The ratio of matches from spacers at the leader end relative to matches from all spacers.
