FIGURE 3.

Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) matrix between and within the total proteomes of Dickeya genus. A pairwise protein comparison was performed using BLAST. All protein-coding sequences were compared with each other across the genomes. The BLAST hit was considered as significant when 50% of the alignment showed identical matches and if the coverage of an alignment was at least 50%. The color scale intensity from dark green to light green highlights a decrease in the degree of homology between the proteomes, whereas the color scale from dark red to light red shows decreasing homologous hits within the proteome itself.
