Figure 1From: Evolutionary, structural and functional relationships revealed by comparative analysis of syntenic genes in RhizobialesSchematic representation of the S. meliloti chromosome (compared with A. tumefaciens) according to the classification of predicted orthologs and homologs. Striped bars in red, from the bottom to the top: genes syntenic with the A. tumefaciens circular chromosome (denoted with C); syntenic with the A. tumefaciens linear chromosome (L); syntenic with the rest of Rhizobiales (rest). Striped bars in blue, from the bottom to the top: genes non-syntenic with the A. tumefaciens circular chromosome (C); non-syntenic with A. tumefaciens linear chromosome (L); non-syntenic with the rest of Rhizobiales (rest). White bar, homologs in other Rhizobiales chromosomes matched with unidirectional best hits (other). Green bar, homologs in plasmids (plasmid). Gray bar, species-specific genes (sp). Numbers indicate genes in each of the categories.Back to article page
