From: Genomic and physiological variability within Group II (non-proteolytic) Clostridium botulinum
Circular figure showing relatedness of the chromosome of sequenced Group II C. botulinum strains. Concentric rings represent the genomes of Eklund 17B (NRP) and three other sequenced strains of Group II C. botulinum. From outermost to innermost ring: 1. Black: DNA coordinates for Eklund 17B (NRP) DNA sequence 2. Black: Forward and reverse frames coding sequences for Eklund 17B (NRP). 3. Green: Orthologous coding sequences for Eklund 17B (JGI) (forward only). 4. Red: Orthologous coding sequences shared with Alaska E43 (forward only). 5. Blue: Orthologous coding sequences shared with Beluga (forward only). 6. Orange: Predicted intact bacteriophage sequences in Eklund 17B (NRP). 7. Black: GC content plot as a percentage for Eklund 17B (NRP). 8. Purple/green: GC skew plot for Eklund 17B (NRP). The figure indicates the rRNA operons as regions containing no coding sequences and also represented by a clear spike in the GC content plot present near the replication origin and termination regions. The GC skew plot shows a positive skew on the leading strand.
