2 Figure 1 Maximum-Likelihood Tree and Percent Coverage Plot of Virulence Factors of Yersinia pestis (A) Maximum-likelihood tree of all Yersinia pestis genomes, including 1,265 SNP positions with complete deletion. Nodes with support ≥ 95% are marked with an asterisk. The colors represent different branches in the Y. pestis phylogeny: branch 0 (black), branch 1 (red), branch 2 (green), branch 3 (blue), branch 4 (orange), and LNBA Y. pestis branch (purple). Y. pseudotuberculosis-specific SNPs were excluded from the tree for clarity of representation. In the light-colored boxes, discussed losses and gains of genomic regions and genes are indicated. Related to Figure S3. (B) Percent coverage of virulence factors located on the Yersinia pestis chromosome and plasmids, plotted in R using the ggplot2 package. The numbers represent specific genes: (1) ymt gene, (2) pla gene, (3) filamentous prophage YpfΦ, (4) Y. pestis-specific genes. Related to Figure S2. See also Data S1.

3 Figure 2 Map of Proposed Yersinia pestis Circulation throughout Eurasia (A) Entrance of Y. pestis into Europe from Central Eurasia with the expansion of Yamnaya pastoralists around 4,800 years ago. (B) Circulation of Y. pestis to Southern Siberia from Europe. Only complete genomes are shown. Current Biology  , e8DOI: ( /j.cub ) Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Ltd Terms and Conditions
