A visualization of genome repeats in Orientia tsutsugamushi

The Orientia tsutsugamushi genome is one of the most highly repetitive bacterial genomes known to date. This visualization shows a circular representation of the Orientia tsutsugamushi strain Karp genome, with coloured segments marking repeated regions of DNA larger than 1kb, and the links between them showing how the same repeat DNA is distributed across the genome. Batty EM, Chaemchuen S, Blacksell S, Richards AL, Paris D, Bowden R, et al.
