Whole-genome sequencing reveals disparities between the Newman/Newman D2C derivatives in stock at the Institute for Medical Microbiology and Hygiene (Homburg, Germany) and published Newman/Newman D2C reference genomes. A visualization of S. aureus Newman/Newman D2C genetic diversity is shown on a circular map of the chromosome of Newman UoM (LT598688.1). The first ring from the outside shows the scale of the chromosome in kilobases (kb). The second ring indicates the positions of mutated genes in the genome (gray). The next five circles illustrate the five genomes used in this study (Newman D2C HOM [CP160002.1], Newman D2C [CP023391.1], Newman [AP009351.1], Newman HOM [CP160003.1], Newman UoM [NZ_LT598688.1]). The colored tiles inside each circle represent the positions of mutations within each respective genome.
