The chromosomal vwb has undergone extensive recombination among the S. aureus complex species. Midpoint-rooted maximum-likelihood tree constructed using FastTree v2 of the S. aureus complex vwb nucleotide sequences. Colored circles denote each Staphylococcus species. Plot of the FastGEAR analysis of the vwb nucleotide alignment applied to 100-bp-long windows. For each window (i.e., column in the plot), each color represents different phylogenetic clusters based on the BAPS algorithm. The axis at the top shows, for reference, the location of the coagulase (D1+D2) domain using the amino acid coordinates of the RF122 S. aureus isolate vWbp.
