Figure 1

Genome network of E. coli at 100% identity. (A) Each node corresponds to a genome (blue for E. coli, purple for plasmid, orange for viruses, brown for E. histolytica, green for A. laidlawii and S. putrefaciens). Edges connect pairs of genomes sharing at least one gene with 100% identical sequence. The display is a spring-embedded layout. (B) Same dataset and same colour code for the nodes. The display was a group attributes layout, with three groups: viruses, plasmids and E. coli. Edges are coloured based on the dominant function of the shared genes: red for the replication and repair category, cyan for all the other COG categories and black for genes without known functions. Cytoscape [66] was used for both displays.
