Figure 5
The Oomycete Gene Table shows a total of 121 elicitin gene clusters that are differently present in the oomycetes, but absent from the diatoms. The elicitin gene clusters 88, 89 and 90 are found across all oomycetes (as indicated by the ‘All’ box). Some elicitin gene clusters appear to be genus-specific: clusters 1–29 for the genus Pythium (the ‘Py’ box), 38–42 for the genus Phytophthora (the ‘Ph’ box) and 107–121 for the genus Saprolegnia (the ‘Sa’ box). The rightmost column shows the number of species that contain each of the elicitin gene clusters. The colour shadings correlate with percent completeness of each predicted gene, in relation to the longest gene of each gene cluster. The light grey box indicates the presence of a similar sequence (that does not fulfil our gene-defining criteria; see the Methods) and the black box indicates that neither a similar sequence nor gene is found.
