Alignment of sequences corresponding to chimeras between Streptococcus and Staphylococcus 16S rRNA genes. Only columns from the NAST multiple alignment containing nonidentical nucleotides between the reference sequences (top and bottom) are shown. Nucleotides matching Streptococcus sequences are colored red. Sequence prefixes correspond to the four experimental replicates A–D.
