Fig. 1

Circular plots of the three replicons of E. alkalisoli YIC4027. The outermost and second-outermost circles represent the predicted protein coding sequences on the forward and the reverse strand, respectively. They are colored according to the assigned cluster of orthologous group classes. The innermost and second-innermost circles show the GC skew values and GC content, respectively. GC skew values are colored purple for plus values and yellow for minus values. GC content circles show deviations from the average (projecting outward for values higher than the average and projecting inward for values lower than the average). For the chromosome, the predicted RNA sequences on the forward and the reverse strands are shown in the circles 3 and 4 from the outermost to the innermost circles, respectively. The genes for rRNA are marked in red and those for tRNA in blue. All three replicons are drawn at the same scale
