Figure 2

Pair-wise comparison of gene contents identified in 20 oomycete and 2 diatom genomes. The gene cluster number of each organism is shown in parentheses. The numbers and colour shadings indicate the percentage of the genes in each organism, listed on the left, that matched the genes in each organism, listed at the top. Pair-wise comparisons of the genera Pythium vs. Phytophthora (similarities: average, 84%; range, 77–90%) and the genera Pythium vs. Pythium (similarities: average, 82%; range, 75–90%) are depicted in the green and yellow boxes, respectively. Gene content similarities among six animal-pathogenic oomycetes (50–94%) are shown in the red box.
