Fig. 4

Wolbachia metapangenome in the context of wPip Pel genome synteny. The figure shows the presence–absence of 1166 gene clusters in the pangenome of four Wolbachia metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) and the reference genome wPip Pel. The gene clusters (i.e., groups of homologous genes based on amino acid sequence identity) are organized based on wPip Pel synteny. Each MAG is represented by two layers, where the first layer indicates the presence or absence of a gene cluster in a given MAG, and the other shows the average coverage of each Wolbachia MAG O07 gene cluster in the corresponding C. pipiens metagenome. The second to last layer shows whether genes in a given gene cluster have a match in NCBI’s COGs. The outermost layer associates gene clusters with previously identified prophage regions in the wPip Pel genome. The number of gene clusters assigned to WOPip prophage regions are indicated in parenthesis
