Figure 1

Circular representation of the genomes of Mycoplasma haemocanis strain Illinois and Mycoplasma haemofelis strain Ohio2 showing a similar content and organization of the coding sequences. The dnaA gene is at position zero in both genome plots, and the rRNAs (16S, 23S and 5S) are represented in black on the outermost circle. Outer to inner circles correspond to: circle 1: predicted coding sequences (CDSs) on the positive strand; circle 2: predicted CDSs on the negative strand. Each CDS is classified by TIGR role category according to the color designation in the legend below the plots; circle 3: CDSs in paralogous gene families (larger than 5 CDSs) with each family represented by a different color in each genome and homologous families by the same corresponding color in both genomes; circle 4: unique CDSs of each genome with colors corresponding to their role or paralogous family if applicable; circle 5: GC skew. Paralogous families with less than 5 CDSs are represented in light blue. The diagrams were generated using Artemis 12.0 - DNAPlotter version 1.4, Sanger Institute. (M. haemofelis plot was modified from Santos et al.[24])
