Comparison of intact genes encoded by three Blochmannia genomes. To highlight potential metabolic differences among genomes, only intact genes are shown. These include protein-coding and RNA-coding genes. Eroded pseudogenes in a given genome are considered missing due to loss of function. Genes with a single frameshift in a polyA or polyT tract are considered intact for this purpose, because transcriptional slippage may restore expression of a full-length protein product. In this comparison, yidC and yidD in B. floridanus are counted as a single gene, due to fusion in B. pennsylvanicus and B. vafer.
