Figure 2

Discovery of a component of the Mimivirus transcription apparatus. A) Mimivirus genome browser (URL: http://www.igs.cnrs-mrs.fr/mimivirus/) screenshot showing the newly discovered component of the transcription apparatus (R357b) in its genomic context. Three informative tracks are displayed: the protein coding genes, the late gene expression signals, and the gene expression data from the SOLiD™ RNA-seq experiment. Transcriptome data is shown at each genomic position (for each of the 9 samples) going from white (not expressed) to red (highly expressed) in the forward strand, and white to blue (highly expressed) in the reverse strand. B) Protein sequence alignment of the Mimivirus R357b gene and the most similar homologous sequences from the giant virus CroV and the two archea Methanocella paludicola and Ferroplasma acidarmanus.
