Differential Gene Repertoire in Mycobacterium ulcerans Identifies Candidate Genes for Patho-Adaptation
Figure 1
Comparison of CDSs (coding sequences) in RD (region of difference) 1 between M. marinum M (centre line), M. ulcerans haplotype South America (upper line, a member of the ancestral lineage) and M. ulcerans Agy99 (bottom line, a member of the classical lineage).
Deletions (bars) and insertions as compared to the M. marinum M sequence are indicated by grey areas. Note that “MURDs” (M. ulcerans regions of difference) only define differences between M. marinum M and M. ulcerans Agy99, member of the classical lineage. Therefore, regions varying between M. ulcerans strains should be described as “RDs” (region of differences).
