DNA from plasmid pMG101 sil genes is aligned with homologous DNA from other IncH plasmids. Only the differences in nucleotides, and their effect on protein coding are shown. For example, a change from AAA to AAG does not change the coding for lysine and is represented in black as K^K. However, a change from AAA to AAC changes coding from lysine to asparagine and is shown in pink as K^N. For comparison, DNA from the closest homolog for the sil gene in the GenBank database is included in the alignment.
