Figure 5.
Reference-based whole genome comparison of the four “Ferrovum” strains. Blastn-based whole genome comparison and visualization were performed using BRIG (Alikhan et al., 2011) with each of the four genomes used as a reference in turn. The reference genome and its size are indicated in the figure center: (A) group 2 strain JA12, (B) “F. myxofaciens” Z-31, (C) group 2 strain PN-J185, (D) “F. myxofaciens” P3G. For the reference genome also G+C content and GC skew are shown on the first and the second ring from the inside. Circular representation of the reference genomes (third ring) is based on the concatenation of the contigs. Contigs of group 2 strain JA12 were ordered FERRO_contig000001 to FERRO_contig000003 (LJWX01000001 to LJWX01000003), while contigs of the other strains were ordered randomly. Matches to the reference genomes are displayed color-coded (JA12, turquoise; PN-J185, orange; Z-31, blue; P3G, red) on the rings four to six. The levels of the match sequence identities are indicated by color intensity (the higher the color intensity the higher the sequence identity). Cross references link to other figures showing a more detailed analysis of regions of interest.
