Metagenomic Comparison of Two Thiomicrospira Lineages Inhabiting Contrasting Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Environments (original) (raw)

Contigs that encode transposases (blue points) are generally small and high-coverage.
Yellow points represent contigs that do not encode transposases but contain at least one sequencing read from the end of a clone that contains a transposase on the opposite end. Arrows indicate examples of contigs linked by such paired end sequences. One of these examples involves a large contig that encodes a transposase and is also linked to a small transposase-containing contig (blue and yellow point). These links among contigs suggest that the Lost City Thiomicrospira pangenome contains a large number of transposase sequences.
