Extended Data Fig. 10: Identification of GMT islands.
From: Gamma-Mobile-Trio systems are mobile elements rich in bacterial defensive and offensive tools
(a) Criteria for the identification of genomic accessions in closely related genomes that are homologous to the sequences flanking the GMT system. Thick lines represent the alignments between query and subject accessions. (b) Sequences upstream and downstream of the GMT islands should contain sequence alignments to the subject accessions in at least 4 kbp out of 10 kbp upstream and downstream sequences. (c) Grouping of alignments meeting all the requirements to determine the 5′ and 3′ borders of GMT islands. (d) Intragenic and intergenic insertion sites. (e) Analysis of sequences surrounding a predicted insertion site to identify direct and inverted repeats. Bold letters denote an inverted repeat found within the sequence example.
