Genome features of Escherichia coli O145:H28 strain RM13514. Circular maps of the chromosome (A), and the two plasmids, pO145-13514 (B) and pRM13514 (C). For chromosome, from outer circle to inner circle, each represents positive strand CDS (1), negative strand CDS (2), insertion sequences (3), GC Skew (4), GC Content (5), Prophage/Integrated elements (Prophage–Navy, Prophage-like–Orange, Shiga toxin phage–Red, Integrated element–Green, LEE–pink) (6), GATC methylation sites (7), CTGCAG methylation sites (8), and DTGCAG methylation sites (9). For both plasmids, from outer circle to inner circle, each represents positive strand CDS (1), negative strand CDS (2), GC Skew (3), GC content (4), Insertion sequences (5), GATC methylation sites (6), CTGCAG methylation sites (7), and DTGCAG methylation sites (8). The circular maps were generated using BLAST Ring Image Generator (BRIG) software[41].
