Figure 4: Recombination and mutation rates across the cps locus genes.

From: Acquisition of the capsule locus by horizontal gene transfer in Neisseria meningitidis is often accompanied by the loss of UDP-GalNAc synthesis

Figure 4

Parsed ClonalFrame output detailing the origin of the rates of change for each locus. Panel A shows the relative rate of occurrence of recombination and mutation for each locus such that a value greater than 1.0 on the vertical axis (ρ/θ) indicates a higher frequency of recombination than mutation. Panel B shows the intensity of recombination for each locus as inferred by ClonalOrigin such that high values on the vertical axis (ρs/θs) indicate hotspots for recombination.
