High Rates of Homologous Recombination in the Mite Endosymbiont and Opportunistic Human Pathogen Orientia tsutsugamushi
Figure 2
Mosaic structure in the 2 recombination events identified using the RDP suite of programs.
The triple alignment of concatenated sequence of 3 STs (two parental STs and a putative recombinant) in the order gpsA-mdh-nrdB-nuoF-ppdK-sucB-sucD. Only variable sites within the concatenated alignment are shown. Allele borders are shown as vertical lines. Recombinant regions are shown as white on black. The vertical numbers on each variable site refer to position on sequence. The dot (.) represents the same nucleotide as shown in the first line sequence.
