a. Rationale of syntenic IS-Gene (sIG) pairs. IS belongs to the same IS family. Colored genes correspond to homologous genes. Gray arrows are unique genes (without homolog). Phylum sIG, when IG couples are located in at least two distinct prokarotic phyla (Phylum 1 and Phylum2); Class-to-genus sIG, when IG belong to the same phylum but in distinct species, and therefore distinct taxonomic class, order, family or genus; Species sIG, when IG couples are only locate in one species but in distinct strains; and Unique IG, when IG couple is specific to one strain. Displayed configurations are given as examples. b. IS-Gene distance over IS size in syntenic IG pairs. 3D graphs display the proportion of IGs for size and IS-gene distance combinations in phylum, class-to-genus, and species sIGs and unique IGs. [50–100[means that the counting includes 50 but excludes 100
