Genome rearrangement representation for NE061598 and Schu S4 genomes.

<p>Each local collinear blocks (LCB) 1-6 is represented by a different color. Upside-down blocks (i.e. LCB2) represent the location of the reverse strand, which means an inversion has occurred. Note the rearrangements of LCB4 and LCB5.</p

VNTR markers and their differences between Schu S4 and NE061598.

a<p>FtM1-FtM25 VNTR markers as previously reported by Johansson et al. <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0009007#pone.0009007-Johansson1" target="_blank">[7]</a>. New VTNR polymorphisms identified in this study are listed as VNTR1 through VNTR-5.</p>b<p>Indicates repeat size in nucleotides.</p>c<p>“G” indicates that the repeat is located within an open reading frame (genic) whereas “I” indicates that the repeat is located within an intergenic region. Distance to predicted translation start site is indicated in nucleotides. “+” or “−” indicates that the translation start site is downstream or upstream of repeat motif, respectively (as reported by Johansson et al. <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0009007#pone.0009007-Johansson1" target="_blank">[7]</a>).</p

Genome rearrangement representation for NE061598, Schu S4 and FSC033 genomes.

<p>Each local collinear blocks (LCB) 1–10 is represented by a different color. Upside-down blocks (i.e. LCBs 3 and 9) represent the location of the reverse strand, which means an inversion has occurred. Each LCB is denoted above NE061598.</p

Depiction of genomic rearrangement between local collinear blocks 4 and 5 in NE061598 compared to Schu S4.

<p>Direct repeats 1 (DRI) and II (DRII) are colored in green in both 3A (Schu S4) and 3B (NE061598). DRIII, a segment of both DRI and DRII, is colored in red. Note that DRIII is found independently in LCB4. The initial 207 bp of DRI and DRII in Schu S4 is colored in blue. Note that the genomic rearrangement resulted in the loss of this initial 207 bp region in DR1 of NE061598.</p
