Figure 3

Repeat sharing gene network of N. equitans. A subgraph is pointed out of the 18-repeat sharing gene network of Nanoarcheaum equitans, a short genome (see Table 1) which is mostly (93%) formed by genes. As we may notice on the right, the gene NEQ475 is linked with the NEQ186 and NEQ457. It contains at least two occurrences of each of three different repeats, has 8 distinct repeats in common with NEQ186 and only one with NEQ 457.
