Figure 4From: Microbial co-habitation and lateral gene transfer: what transposases can tell usComparison of average amino acid identity of 31 marker genes versus transposase amino acid identity for connections in (a) non-conserved and (b) conserved neighborhoods. The correlation coefficient for (a) is 0.145 and 0.385 in (b), suggesting that connections in non-conserved neighborhoods are less likely to be due to vertical inheritance.Back to article page
