Figure 1

Circular representation of the MmymySC genome. Outer concentric circle: genomic positions in bases, where position one is the first base of the dnaA gene. Second concentric circle: the predicted genes on the positive strand. Third concentric circle: the predicted genes on the negative strand. The genes are shown in bars of different colors representing different functional categories. Fourth concentric circle: IS elements. Fifth concentric circle: tRNA and rRNAs genes in green and blue bars, respectively. Sixth concentric circle: the capsule biosynthesis clusters shown in orange bars, the hydrogen peroxide biosynthesis cluster in a pink bar, and the genes encoding variable surface proteins in green bars. Seventh concentric circle: the GC-skew diagram; where the red color indicates that the leading strand contains more Gs than Cs, and the black color indicates the opposite case.
