Genome map of Escherichia coli bacteria,computer artwork. This map was created by rendering all the DNA strands that make up the bacteria's genome into a planet-like sphere (centre). The sphere is superimposed onto a two-dimensional genome map and line drawings. Bacteria,such as E. coli,are known to obtain genetic material from other organisms. This process is known as horizontal gene transfer. The light-coloured,crater-like regions on the map represent genes not obtained by usual inheritance. This map is one of a series of 'genomic planets' created by German biologist Thomas Fester | |
