Cc/Cj hybrid strains share common genes with C. jejuni sequence content, which are distributed over the chromosome. Visualization of genes with at least 50% k-mer coverage of C. jejuni sequences identified in at least one of the 29 Cc/Cj hybrid strains (with >10% C. jejuni introgression). X-axis, strains; y-axis, genes. Left, heatmap sorted according to gene location in the reference C. jejuni sequence; right, heatmap sorted according to genes with high number of strains and high C. jejuni sequence exchange. Colours indicate coverage of gene length by C. jejuni sequence specific k-mer (16 bp) matches in % as detailed in the figure. Example genes with high coverage in the majority of strains are indicated. Below heatmaps, isolation source of the strains: c, chicken meat; tc, turkey cecum; tm, turkey meat and eggs.
