Figure 5

Distribution of recent transfer events in COG functional categories. Red bars indicate transfer between bacteria and archaea. Blue bars indicate transfer between different bacteria. The one letter code corresponds to following functional categories. J Translation, ribosomal structure and biogenesis; A RNA processing and modification; K Transcription; L Replication, recombination and repair; B Chromatin structure and dynamics; D Cell cycle control, cell division, chromosome partitioning; Y Nuclear structure; V Defense mechanisms; T Signal transduction mechanisms; M Cell wall/membrane/envelope biogenesis; N Cell motility; Z Cytoskeleton; W Extracellular structures; U Intracellular trafficking, secretion, and vesicular transport; O Posttranslational modification, protein turnover, chaperones; C Energy production and conversion; G Carbohydrate transport and metabolism; E Amino acid transport and metabolism; F Nucleotide transport and metabolism; H Coenzyme transport and metabolism; I Lipid transport and metabolism; P Inorganic ion transport and metabolism; Q Secondary metabolites biosynthesis, transport and catabolism; R General function prediction only; S Unknown function
