Extent of recombinations affecting the <i>cps</i> locus.

<p>(A) Positions of recombinations affecting the <i>cps</i> locus. Each of the recombinations identified in <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1005095#pgen.1005095.g003" target="_blank">Fig. 3</a> is represented by a horizontal bar coloured according to the inferred impact of the recombination. Recombinations causing a change in serotype are uniquely annotated to correspond with <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1005095#pgen.1005095.g003" target="_blank">Fig. 3</a>. The grey column represents the extent of the <i>cps</i> locus; the width displayed is that of the longest <i>cps</i> locus across the different sequence clusters, and each recombination is scaled relative to the positions of this <i>cps</i> locus’ boundaries. (B) Extent of recombinations affecting the <i>cps</i> locus. The degree to which the recombinations displayed in (A) impinge on the flanking regions is summarised, with the dashed line representing the falling numbers of recombinations extending to bases further removed from the <i>cps</i> locus edges (displayed on the same scale as (A)). The red lines represent the fit of exponential decay curves to these trends. The tick marks above the plots represent 10 kb intervals.
