From: The prevalence of gene duplications and their ancient origin in Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1
The distribution of matches to the R. sphaeroides 2.4.1 query sequences. BLASTP analysis with each single gene in each of the 234 duplicate gene pairs was performed against three other R. sphaeroides strains (ATCC 17025, ATCC 17029, KD131). The matches that met the specified criteria were kept and examined accordingly. The picture depicts varying levels of gene loss and retention among each of the strains.
