Genomotyping results of N. gonorrhoeae strain FA1090 versus N. gonorrhoeae strain FA19.

Gene probes hybridizing to FA1090 but not FA19


Genes known to be associated with divergence:

Lack of hybridization may be due to:

XNG0049 (pilC1)

divergence in FA19 pilC sequence

XNG0211 (hypothetical)

maf-associated divergence

XNG0212 (hypothetical)

maf-associated divergence

XNG0213 (hypothetical)

maf-associated divergence

XNG1848 (hypothetical)

maf-associated divergence

XNG0458 (hypothetical)

prophage region-associated divergence

XNG0459 (regulator)

prophage region-associated divergence

XNG0460 (hypothetical)

prophage region-associated divergence

XNG0461 (regulator)

XNG0462 (hypothetical)

prophage region-associated divergence

XNG1006 (hypothetical)

prophage region-associated divergence

XNG1509 (hypothetical)

Gene probes hybridizing to FA19 but not FA1090


Genes known to be associated with divergence

Hybridization to non-FA1090 probes may be due to:

NMB1541 (lbpB)

lbpB is known to be dead in FA1090 (AF072890)

NMA0036 (hypothetical)

maf-associated divergence

NMB2109 (hypothetical)

maf-associated divergence

NMB2110 (hypothetical)

maf-associated divergence

NMA1360 (hypothetical)

the presence of a sequenced gene fragment in FA19

NMB1119 (hypothetical)

prophage region-associated divergence

NMB1120 (hypothetical)

prophage region-associated divergence

GCJDS60 (suppressor)

prophage region-associated divergence

GCJDS61 (regulator)

prophage region-associated divergence

Genes associated with strain-specific regions:

Associated strain-specific region:

NMA2121 (hypothetical)

hypo-hypo MME

59 Gonococcal Genetic Island genes

ung-hypo MME
