Montage of CCT maps comparing nine Rickettsia genomes. A montage of maps comparing Rickettsia genomes at the protein level, created using the build_blast_atlas_all_vs_all.sh script. The montage is comprised of nine separate CCT maps, each depicting one of the genomes as the reference and the remaining eight as the comparison genomes. Starting from the outermost ring the four features rings depict: 1. COG functional categories for forward strand coding sequences; 2. Forward strand sequence features; 3. Reverse strand sequence features; 4. COG functional categories for reverse strand coding sequences. The remaining rings show regions of similarity detected using BLAST (blastp).
