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.
