CREE and chromosomal rearrangement. Alignment of the N. gonorrhoeae strain FA1090 (top) and strain NCCP11945 (bottom) genome sequences using progressive Mauve [43]. Several chromosomal rearrangements and inversions of large regions of sequence can be seen represented here by coloured blocks. Those below the mid-line in strain NCCP11945 are inverted relative to the strain FA1090 sequence. The arrows indicate the left and right ends of a single CREE in strain FA1090 and their alignment with two separate CREE at a chromosomal rearrangement point relative to strain NCCP11945.
