Sequence Conservation and Functional Constraint on Intergenic Spacers in Reduced Genomes of the Obligate Symbiont Buchnera
Figure 5
IGS features in the Buchnera-ApTokyo genome.
Staggered boxes represent annotated genes located on the forward (higher) or reverse (lower) strands. The majority of the 336 long intergenic regions contain conserved sequence blocks, many with inferred functions, as indicated by the color-coded ball-and-sticks. Asterisks (*) denote newly identified pseudogenes in Buchnera-ApTokyo. Size scale is in kb.
