Alignment of the genome of the two S. epidermidis phages phi-IPLA5 and phi-IPLA7 with those of other Staphylococcus phages using the Mauve software. Each block represents a region of the genome sequence that aligned and is homologous to part of another genome. Regions outside blocks lack detectable homology among the input genomes. Inside each block nucleotide sequence similarity is indicated by the height of the colored bars, while regions that are dissimilar are in white. Lines connecting blocks are indicative of homologous regions.
