Description of the whole set of Integrative Conjugative Elements (ICEs), Integrative Mobilizable Elements (IMEs) and derived elements found in the 214 S. suis genomes analyzed. Elements were grouped according to the nature of their relaxase and the presence or absence of an associated coupling protein. * TnGBS1 is indicated in the elements with a MobP relaxase but it should be pointed out that its relaxase is only distantly related to MobP relaxases and does not possess the characteristic PF03432 domain of this family [23]. The sizes of the circles are at scale, except when zooming to provide further details. The integration sites of the IMEs are indicated in the element names themselves.
