Figure 1
Alignment of PAO1, Y31, Y71, Y82, and Y89 whole genomes with the Mauve program. Strain names are indicated on the left in different colors. The Y89 strain harbors a plasmid, and its sequence is shown at the end (red arrow). The PAO1 genome is displayed as a collection of squared regions above the center line. Regions with homologous sequences are shown with the same-colored squares. Squares that lie above the center line are aligned in the same orientation, while squares below the line are aligned in the inverse orientation, relative to the corresponding regions of the PAO1 genome. Each squared region consists of a collection of vertical lines, and the height of each line is drawn proportional to the similarity between the sequences. Thus, a white region inside squared regions represents a sequence that is exclusively present on a given genome.
