DNA methylation motif analysis. The sequence and abundance of DNA methylation motifs were determined in all de novo assembled genomes of NWC_2 with the base modification module of the SMRTlink (v.5.1.0) toolkit and visualized. The heatmap illustrates the relative abundances of the motifs per assembly (increasing relative abundance from white to black). The numbers in the brackets represent the number of DNA methylation motifs detected in a given assembly. Motives specific to the L. helveticus strains and plasmids are highlighted in red
