Whole-genome alignment of linearized A. mediterranea AR43, CP48 and CP49 genomes. The panel below indicates fragments recruited in ERR315856 TARA expedition metagenomes and their similarity to the homologous region of the CP48 chromosome and chromid. The two variables regions (VRs) are indicated. CRISPR clusters are marked in red. Arrows under the genome stretch represented (lower panel) indicate the 3’ end of the tRNA gene section that is duplicated and represents a hallmark of an integration event. Annotations of proteins in the lower panel are only shown for the interesting regions (CRISPR island and chromod deletion)
