From: Comparative genome characterization of the periodontal pathogen Tannerella forsythia
Blast Score Ratio (BSR) values plotted as heatmap for 45 suggested virulence genes in ten T. forsythia strains and the genome of putative health-associated Tannerella sp. BU063. Gene sequences were blasted against the complete genomic sequences of each genome. Tannerella sp. BU063 achieved considerable BSR values for several genes that were actually suggested as virulence factors in pathogenic T. forsythia strains. On the other hand, some of the pathogenic strains show reduced similarity to some predicted virulence factors
