Fusion occurrences across genomes and subsystems. a Our fusion algorithm predicted 3.9 million fusions across 11,473 genomes, with the number of fusion events per genome being broadly proportional to the number of genes in the genome. b The annotations of these predicted fusions come from a wide range of SEED subsystem classes. Here we show the distribution of predicted fusion events among the 32 prominent subsystem classes. Two distinct measures of fusion prevalence are displayed: (i) the fraction of distinct functional roles in the subsystem that are classified as frequently fused (red bars); and (ii) the fraction of genes associated with any role in the subsystem that are fused (blue bars)
