Figure 2.
The phylogeny and conservation of CRISPR-leaders, CRISPR1 (a), and CRISPR2 (b) across Salmonella serovars. The CRISPR-leader sequences were aligned using MUSCLE and the phylogenetic tree was constructed using ML. (c) A matrix depicting the inter-species and inter-subspecies conservation of the leader sequence of both the CRISPR arrays. The values represent the percent nucleotide identity with respect to the entire query cover. The reference strains are S. enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium str.14028S, Typhi str. CT18, S. enterica subsp. arizonae str. NCTC10047, S. enterica subsp. diarizonae str. MZ0080 and S. bongori str. SA19983605.
