Fig 2. The relationship between genomic GC content and the NHEJ pathway in prokaryotes.

Fig 2

(a) Microbes that code for the Ku protein tend to have much higher genomic GC content than those that do not (all RefSeq assemblies shown, 21389 out of 104297 genomes encode Ku). (b) Ku incidence mapped onto the SILVA Living Tree [64]. While Ku incidence is not randomly distributed across the prokaryotic tree, neither is it isolated to a particular clade. Organisms coding for Ku shown in blue, those not coding for Ku shown in red.
