Figure 3From: Plasmids are vectors for redundant chromosomal genes in the Bacillus cereus group The 598 gene families shared by plasmids and chromosomes were distributed over all the categories of the chromosomal gene set. Each of the three gene sets contained shared genes (A). Shared genes from the distributed set were shared by one and more than one plasmid equally (B). Two-thirds of the shared genes from the chromosomal unique set were shared by one plasmid (C).Back to article page
