Heat map clustering of all identified L. lactis ICEs. Generated by compiling all the results of the clade definitions for each core L. lactis ICE gene. The colors correspond to different clades, and for exceptions (red for outliers, black for missing and grey for a truncation). By using the most obvious clustering (L.ICE_CG3 to CG6) the ICEs could be divided into three main families. Evidence of inter-family recombination is shown between family two and family three, by the interchange of at least the L.ICE_CG9 to CG10 functions. On the bottom of the heat map it is listed the total amount of clades in each L.ICE_CG function
