Distribution of BRE throughout the genomes of B. pertussis , B. bronchiseptica , B. parapertussis and B. avium. Repeats in the positive orientation (on the strand given in the GenBank genome database) are represented by a tick on the outside of the outer circles, and those in the negative orientation (on the complementary strand) are represented by a tick on the inside of the outer circles. The ticks in black are full-length repeats and ticks in grey are partial-length repeats. The number of ticks at each locus corresponds to the numbers of repeats. The inner circles give a chromosome graduation in kbp. Numbers on the outer circle indicate the locus number as defined in table 4.
