Genomic overview of the similarity between completely sequenced <i>Wolbachia</i> strains.

<p>Red boxes show the location of supergroup A specific genes (only in the supergroup A strains, <i>w</i>Mel, <i>w</i>Ri and <i>w</i>Ha), whereas green boxes indicate the position of supergroup B specific genes (only in the supergroup B strains <i>w</i>No and <i>w</i>Pip). The yellow boxes represent the location of prophage elements in supergroup A and B strains. The supergroup D strain <i>w</i>Bm is included for comparison. Similarity between sequences is indicated by the intensity of the grey lines, where darker is more similar. The lines between the wNo and wHa genomes with the small letters “a” and “b” indicate two regions with atypical synteny and sequence conservation.
