Conserved region comparison of three ICEs (CV56_1 (Tn5276), KF147_2 (Tn6098) and KF67). Aligned conserved ICE regions of three ICEs of varied size. In dark blue the five conserved ICE functions used for initial detection. The variation in size can be attributed to gene insertion / deletion between the conserved functions. The red bar indicates the cutoff used for the region definition, which was set to encompass all conserved core ICE genes as identified in our comparative analysis (see materials and methods for details)
