Figure 1From: Characterization of the core and accessory genomes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa using bioinformatic tools Spine and AGEntApproach to accessory genomic element identification. Programs used to accomplish the listed steps are indicated by circled numbers: 1, 3, NUCmer (whole-genome aligner); 2, nucmer_backbone.pl (converts coordinates of conserved regions to DNA sequence); 4, nucmer_difference.pl (subtracts regions not aligning to core). See Methods section for further details.Back to article page
