RNA-Seq profiles of the ess loci of four S. aureus reference isolates. Sequence reads from each of the four S. aureus reference isolates aligned to the respective ess loci viewed in Artemis. The mapped sequence read depth is displayed, with graphs representing the result of sequencing strand-specific cDNA mapping. The color of the graphed plots indicated the strand, with blue forward, and red reverse. CDSs from annotation are displayed in a six-frame translation, with the vertical black line indicating stop codons in frames. The coordinates in the figures indicate the position in the reference chromosome
