Examples for gene loss or gain in complete genome sequences of five ST-21 C. jejuni strains. (A) Loss of ortholog to gene Cj1305, which belongs to the 617 family located in the flagellin glycosylation gene cluster, in the human strain xy259. (B) Loss of ortholog to gene Cj0008 in 04197 nestled in between putative pyridine nucleotide-disulphide oxidoreductase large subunit gene gltB and small subunit gene gltD. (C) Common phage insertion in three ST-21 strains. The flanking genes of the phage insertion site are indicated by white arrows in the strains 04197 and 04199. Grey arrows show phage genes similar in all strains, black arrows indicate unique phage genes. The phage is related to CJIE1 in the whole genome sequence of C. jejuni RM1221 [20].
