Figure 6.

Multiple-alignment of Bordetella and betaproteobacteria BREs. The sequences were aligned using CLC Genomics Workbench 4. The name code of the bacterial strain and the repeat coordinates on the genomes are indicated on the left. Indels are represented by dashes. Upper panel: the 45 BREs from the 4 genomes B. pertussis, B. bronchiseptica, B. parapertussis, B. avium were aligned to evaluate conservation within the Bordetella genus. Lower panel: The BREs with the smallest coordinate in each betaproteobacteria genome were aligned to evaluate conservation within the all classes.
