Synteny analyses. Schematic representation of the chromosomal regions surrounding fur. The blue bar in the middle represents the fur itself. The acronyms of the fur homologues that have been annotated with a name other than fur are indicated in the top of the bar. Four genes upstream and four genes downstream of the fur were analysed: the ones that present a significant degree of similarity (according to the parameters defined in the methods) have the same colour; the ones that do not have a significant degree of similarity with any other gene located in the explored regions are not represented. The position of each bar in the scheme is representative of its position in the genome relative to the considered fur homologue, and the arrow heads represent the transcriptional orientation. The annotation respects the one that is used in each genome.
