Presence and variation of GEIs in the genome of strains ID4363, M10, IGB83 and 148. The rings display tblastn comparisons of the anotated genes in strains 148, ID4365, IGB83 and M10 against the nucleotide sequences of different GIs. Each of the alternating red and blue segments in the outer ring represents the length of a particular island. The image is scaled to the nucleotide length of the genes: long tick marks on the external and internal circumference of the ring indicate increments of 50 kbp, while short tick marks indicate 10 kbp.
