The Methylacidiphilum fumariolicum SolV genome sequence. A) Circos plot depicts the level of concordance between draft genome and the final assembly. Coloured links highlight misassemblies in the draft genome. B) Circos plot illustrates the overall genetic makeup of the Methylacidiphilum fumariolicum SolV. The outer ring marks the positions of tandem repeats across the genome. The next rings (outside to inside) show: gene annotation, highlighting key biological pathways in colours; placement of the draft genome in respect to the final assembly; and the overall GC content and the coverage profile of SMRT, Roche 454, and Illumina GAII sequencing reads. Repetitive sequences and structural variations are linked across the genome. Repeats that are longer than 2 Kb are shown in red whilst shorter repeats are linked in grey.
