Distribution of non-coding RNAs in mycobacteria. Heat map showing the presence of non-coding RNAs in 244 mycobacteria predicted using the RFAM v13.0 database [41,42,43] and INFERNAL v1.1.2 [44]. The “387 core gene” phylogenetic tree (see Fig. 2) and clade names are shown to the left and the coloring scheme is the same as in Fig. 3. The presence and number of non-coding RNAs is indicated according to the color legend. The ncRNAs marked in red correspond to ncRNAs also predicted using the “M. tuberculosis H37Rv ncRNA data set” [40] (see Supplementary Fig. S6). A plot of the total number of predicted non-coding RNAs is shown to the right
