Figure 2

Synteny plot of the chromosomes of strains 2336 and 129Pt generated by NUCmer. Regions of identity between the two chromosomes are shown based on pair-wise alignments. The strain 2336 sequence is represented on the X-axis, and the strain 129Pt sequence is represented on the Y-axis. Numbers indicate nucleotide positions within the respective chromosomes. Plus strand matches are slanted from the bottom left to the upper right corner and are shown in red. Minus strand matches are slanted from the upper left to the lower right and are shown in blue. The number of dots/lines shown in the plot is the same as the number of exact matches found by NUCmer.
