Figure 2.

Heatmap illustrating presence and absence of 78 virulence associated and iron acquisition protein sequences found in the NCBI protein database among the 101 A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida sequenced isolates and the reference A449. Isolates are displayed on the right and sequence protein names on the bottom. Threshold limit for presence of protein in an isolate was set to 65% similarity, expressed as percent sequence identity (ID) and 60% of alignment length (coverage) of the protein sequence. Red color represents > 95% ID, pink color > 85% ID, dark blue > 75% ID, and light blue > 65% ID.
