From: Comparison of Francisella tularensis genomes reveals evolutionary events associated with the emergence of human pathogenic strains

Figure 1

The alignment of the genomes reveals multiple genomic rearrangements probably mediated by IS elements. Each genome was aligned against each of the others using Nucmer (see Materials and methods). Horizontal and vertical lines represent the location of the IS elements in the compared genomes. The breakpoints of the syntenic blocks in the subspecies holarctica and tularensis are often associated with IS elements, whereas IS elements do not border most syntenic blocks in the genome of novicida. bp, base pairs; F.t., Francisella tularensis; IS, insertion sequences; LVS, live vaccine strain.
