Shared metabolic pathways based on the specific identified genes between the surrogate model species and M. tuberculosis H37Rv. a dot plot showing the data corresponding to Tuberculist functional categories of the genes that are specific to each model species relative to M. tuberculosis, strain H37Rv. The number inside each circle represent the proportion of each category. b radar chart showing the number of each genes in each Tuberculist functional category relative to the 419 specific genes to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, strain H37Rv. For graphical convenience, in both (a) and (b) graphs, the data relative to genes coding for unknowing functions are not shown. For more details refer to Additional files 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6
