FIG 2.

Recombination breakage points within gyrA92-harboring N. meningitidis isolate CR24. (A) Sequence alignment of the upstream sequences of the gyrA gene showing the recombination breakage point at position 5040 upstream of the gyrA gene of serogroup C strain 053442. (B) Sequence alignment of gyrA genes showing the recombination breakage point within the gene at position 2459 relative to the sequence of strain 053442. (C) Recombination breakage points detected by at least one of seven methods included in RDP (version 4.97). The topmost horizontal bar represents the CR24 sequence; the blue and red arrows correspond to the locations of the breakage points identified in panels A and B.
