Figure 4. Elevated within-host interspecies recombination and donor–recipient comparisons.

(a) A hypothesis depicting the relationships between Campylobacter species, C. jejuni (x1, x2) and C. coli (y), when found in the same or in different hosts. (b) Number of recombining SNPs within and between host as inferred by chromosome painting analysis for all donor–recipient species comparisons. The error bar represents the standard error of the mean (SEM). (c) The figure shows the number of donated SNPs in 10 donor–recipient pair species comparisons. The proportion (%) of recombining SNPs with >90% probability of copying from a donor to a recipient genome is illustrated on the y-axis. All donor groups are shows in the x-axis. All colored boxes correspond to comparison where donors and recipients are found in the same host.

Figure 4—figure supplement 1. Probability of the recipient genomes sharing DNA with each donor groups is illustrated as box whiskers (white) for every donor–recipient comparison for all 10 pairs that supported our hypothesis.

Figure 4—figure supplement 1.

The analysis where the host data were randomized across all isolates is illustrated as box whiskers (red). The probability of copying DNA from a donor to a recipient genome is shown on the y-axis. The midline in the box whiskers indicates the mean and the error bars the standard deviation.

Figure 4—figure supplement 2.

Genes and their corresponding number of recombining SNPs, inferred by chromosome painting analysis for all 10 species comparisons, and mapped to the NCTC11168 reference genome. Genes from within-host (red) and between-host (white) pair comparisons are shown for each comparison. Donors are isolates from chicken (triangle), cattle (square), wild bird (cross), pig (star), clinical (circle), and water (snowflake) samples. The dashed line indicates the 95th percentile for every individual group comparison.

Genes from within-host (red) and between-host (white) are shown for each comparison. Donors are isolates from chicken (triangle), cattle (square), wild bird (cross), pig (star), clinical (circle), and water (snowflake) samples.
