Easyfig_A.baumannii

  1. How to use the program?

    D: Zoom in on a ~15kb subregion at one end of the sequences

    Access the subregion window from the Image dropdown menu; click on file 01 and then enter 32599 and 50099 in the Min and Max "Range" boxes located directly under the list of annotation files

    Click (change cutoffs)

    Click on file 02 and then enter 1 and 15000 in the Min and Max "Range" boxes and click (change cutoffs)

IMPORTANT: remember that the second Annotation file (LT2_Gifsy.gbk) has been inverted, This has been taken into account when entering the subregion range

    Close the subregion window with (close)

    Click on ( Generate blastn Files ) to generate the BLAST comparison files for these subregions (a pop-up box will ask you where you want to save the BLAST files – default is usually in the Easyfig_example1_files folder)

    CREATE FIGURE as described in part 1A.

In the new image, the scale is still 5000 bp, but the image is zoomed in on the variable region. The minimum BLAST identity value is shown in the yellow dialog box after each figure is drawn – this can be used to calibrate the BLAST identity scale shown on the right (i.e. in this case the matches range from 100% (darkest) to 85% (lightest)).

As described in the manual there are many ways to customise the image further e.g. the following list shows a few of the options available:

    * Feature rendering type from arrows to boxes or pointers
    * Colours of any of the features
    * Thickness of any lines
    * Height of BLAST matches
    * Height of features
    * Width of figure
    * Type of image file (bmp is default, but svg [scalable vector graphics] files can be produced by changing the file type)
    * Add a gene legend or label the genes**

        Fig. 1. A schematic drawing of genetic structures of ACME (a region from the arc to opp3 cluster, or corresponding genetic components) among the three DI subtypes (DI.1, DI.2, and DI.3: strains CNS266, CNS115, and CNS149, respectively), type I (strain USA300-FPR3757, accession number CP000255), type II (strain ATCC12228, accession number AE015929) and type DII (strain M08/0126, accession number FR753166). Putative ORFs of genes are represented by arrows colored with green (arc cluster), red (opp3 cluster), blue (a region between the arc and opp3 clusters in ACME I), or dark blue (genes in ACME II). The regions in light pink including the arc cluster indicate genetically identical areas to both ATCC12228 and USA300-FPR3757. The regions with light blue are identical to only ATCC12228, while those with light orange to USA300-FPR3757. White space regions between argR and SAUSA300_0072 show no sequence homology either to ATCC12228 or to USA300_FPR3757; however, these regions show 91–99% nucleotide identity among the three ACME subtypes. Regions colored with dark orange in the three ACME DI subtypes show=98% nucleotide sequence identity to each other. Regions colored with grey (type DI.1), purple or cyan (type DI.3) do not show high nucleotide identity (<98%) to cognate genes in other ACME types (Table S2.2). Positions of primers used for PCR profile (Tables 1 and 4) are shown with arrowheads under ACME I sequence. Collapse

# - Fig. 4. AdeIJK has fewer SNPs within it and lower levels of recombination surrounding it than AdeABC or AdeFGH.
# - In total, 100 A. baumannii genomes were aligned against reference A. baumannii AYE (NC_010410.1) and the presence of polymorphisms and recombination was determined using Gubbins.
# - (a,c,e) Magnified parts of the genome at each ade operon, showing the levels of SNPs (red and blue squares; red are ancestral SNPs) and recombination levels (the black line on the bottom; the higher the peak the more recombination).
# - The right-hand panels (b, d and f) show the entire genome and the position of each different ade operon, which is highlighted in red beneath the label.
#- All panels have an associated mid-point rooted phylogenetic tree created by Snippy to show the relatedness of the A. baumannii sequences.
#- AdeIJK (a) has fewer SNPs and recombination than AdeABC (e) and AdeFGH (c), indicating it is highly conserved.

  7. identificatio of IS (Insertion Sequence) elements

      #extracted sequence segments from the two isolates, specifically:
  #    ATCC19606: 930469 to 951674 — segment1
  #    ATCC17978: 2,934,384 to 3,000,721 — segment2
  #Then, I compared the two segments and found that positions 1-11055 of segment1 mapped to 66338-55284 of segment2, and positions 11049-21206 of segment1 mapped to 10158-23 of segment2. This means the sequence from 10159-55283 of segment2 (about 45 kb nt) is not mapped. I then extracted the 45 kb sequence (see the attached fasta file). I attempted to detect IS elements using the tool ISEScan (https://academic.oup.com/bioinformatics/article/33/21/3340/3930124). Four ISs were detected (see 45kb.fasta.xlsx; for more detailed results, see 45kb.fasta.zip).

    • ISEScan: Description: Although not a database, ISEScan is a software tool used to identify IS elements in bacterial genome sequences. It can be helpful for researchers looking to analyze newly sequenced genomes for the presence of IS elements. Website: Available on platforms like GitHub for download and integration into bioinformatics workflows.

    • TnCentral including ISFinder: Description: TnCentral is a more comprehensive resource that includes information about transposons, which are larger and more complex than simple IS elements but often contain IS sequences as part of their structure. This database provides detailed information about transposon structures, including associated genes and regulatory features.

    • ISsaga: ISsaga is a web-based tool for the identification and annotation of insertion sequences in prokaryotic genomes. It provides various features for IS element analysis, including detection, classification, and visualization. You can access ISsaga here: ISsaga (http://issaga.biotoul.fr/ISsaga/issaga_index.php)

    • ISFinder: ISFinder is a curated database and analysis platform for insertion sequences in prokaryotic genomes. It provides a comprehensive collection of IS sequences and tools for sequence analysis, classification, and annotation. You can access ISFinder here: ISFinder For ISfinder please cite: Siguier P. et al. (2006) ISfinder: the reference centre for bacterial insertion sequences.

    • ISMapper: ISMapper is a tool for mapping insertion sequences in bacterial genomes. It uses paired-end sequence data to identify IS element insertion sites and provides information about their genomic context. You can access ISMapper here: ISMapper ISMapper: identifying transposase insertion sites in bacterial genomes from short read sequence data https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26336060/

    • ISseeker: ISseeker is a software package for the identification and annotation of insertion sequences in bacterial genomes. It provides a user-friendly interface for IS element detection and characterization. You can access ISseeker here: ISseeker
