Circular representation of the Wallemia ichthyophaga genome. The following data are shown (from outside, in): (a) Differential expression as log₂ ratio of expression at high salinity (30% NaCl [w/v]) versus low salinity (10% NaCl [w/v]), with increased expression in red and decreased in green (scale −2 to 2); genes with false discovery rates larger than 0.001 are not shown. (b) Sizes of scaffolds >10 kbp, embedded is a histogram of RPKM values (the number of reads which map per kilobase of the exon model per million mapped reads), with expression at high salinity oriented outwards, and low salinity oriented inwards. (c) GC content in 1 kbp windows on a scale from 30% (yellow) to 60% (red). (d) Locations of certain groups of genes (red, energy production; blue, cell cycle; black, cell wall; green, membrane transporters). (e) Locations of repetitive sequences (grey, tandem repeats; blue, transposons; red tRNA). (f) Gene duplications and links, linking their locations determined by aligning the predicted proteins to the genome with Exonerate (cut-off: at least 50% of maximum score obtainable for each query). Blue, proteins that aligned with more than 200 amino acids; grey, proteins that aligned with 100–200 amino acids.
