Schematic diagram of five alleles of the ankF gene. The sequences of the respective ankF gene from 52 C. burnetii strains ( Table 3 ) were analyzed. Depicted are the three ankyrin repeat domains (in yellow), silent nucleotide polymorphisms (in green), nucleotide exchanges (in red) and a frameshift mutation leading to a premature stop (in purple; marked with *). Beneath the diagram of the alleles, the corresponding C. burnetii genome group and the nucleotide substitutions are given.
