FIG 1
The genomic inversion present in “M. indicus pranii” (GenBank accession no. NC_018612) is absent from other M. avium complex organisms, including the sequenced genomes of M. intracellulare ATCC 13950T (NC_016946), M. yongonense 05-1389 (NC_021715), and M. avium strains K10 (NC_002944) and 104 (NC_008595). Symbols: gray arrows, inverted regions; green rectangles, conserved flanking regions; blue and red arrows, flanking genes that are conserved and intact in most M. avium complex isolates but disrupted in “M. indicus pranii”; black arrows, transposons.
