Figure 1.
Circular diagram of functional assignments of the Mycoplasma suis genome.
Starting from the outside, the first circle shows CDSs in the positive strand. Second circle shows CDSs in the negative strand. The third circle shows the 9 largest hypothetical paralogous gene families; colors indicate relationships and do not correlate to functional assignments. Black and red tick marks on the third circle represent the 16S rRNA gene and the 23S/5S rRNA gene operon, respectively. The fourth circle shows the GC skew ([G−C]/[G+C]). The dnaA gene is at position 1. Functional assignments are related to TIGR roles. The figure was generated using DNAPlotter version 1.3 from Artemis 12.0, Sanger Institute.

Putative gene organization of the origin of replication of Mycoplasma suis.
The dnaA boxes were initially localized using the Ori Finder software (Gao and Zhang, 2008) and annotated based on the consensus sequence 5′ – TTWTMHAMA – 3′ (Papazisi et al., 2003). One base mismatch was allowed. hyp = hypothetical protein. ⧫ = dnaA boxes.
