Alignment and GC-profiles of the genomes of D. hafniense DCB-2 and D. hafniense Y51. Alignment of the two genomes, shown with colored blocks of DNA and connecting lines, was performed by using Mauve v 2.3.1 with a view of 24 LCBs (locally collinear blocks). The lines between the genomes indicate the homologous regions in each genome. Translocation of a 1.22 mb DNA segment is seen as two contiguous blocks colored purple and green. Two transposase genes found next to the 1.22 mb DNA segment are indicated as red triangles. Positions of reductive dehalogenase (Rdh) operons in each genome are indicated. The two outer panels show the corresponding GC profiles of the two genomes, depicted as compositionally distinct domains. The profiles were obtained by using GC-Profile program which was developed based on a segmentation algorithm and cumulative GC profile technique.
