HZ pseudogenes on genome map.

<p>A genome map of all 113 predicted <i>msp2</i> pseudogenes of the <i>A. phagocytophilum</i> strain HZ. The most inner circle represents the guanine/cytosine skew, blue circle represents genes in the 3′ direction, orange circle represents genes in the 5 direction, and long bars represent the position of each <i>msp2</i> pseudogene. Red pseudogene bars correspond to 90–100% identity with some expression cassette, green bars to 60–90% identity, and dark blue bars to identities <60%. For orientation, the position of genes commonly associated with the origin of replication (<i>rpmH, rpmF, dnaA, dnaB, dna K, dnaN, gyrA, gyrB</i>) are included as well as the position of the Msp2 and Msp4 expression cassette (msp2ES).
