Fig. 1. Circular map of the six Korean complete MRSA SCCmec V strain genomes (including the HL24830 reference strain). A genome map of the constructed MRSA genome was generated using CGView v.2.0.3. The CGView Comparison Tool was used to construct the circular plot of Staphylococcus aureus DNA sequences. COG features for protein-coding genes and locations of protein-coding, transfer RNA, and ribosomal RNA genes are presented on the four outermost concentric rings. Similar regions of MRSA SCCmec V strains are presented on the next six concentric rings. Based on the percent identity determined using the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool between the similar regions, the inside rings of the MRSA genomes appear black (100% identical) to blue (≥88% identical). The black peaks depict GC content, and the innermost green and purple peaks describe positive and negative GC skews, respectively.
Abbreviations: MRSA, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus; COG, clusters of orthologous gene; SCCmec V, staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec type V.
