Comparative analyses of Brachypodium contigs against rice genome. Figure 5A. The SyMAP dotplot analysis of Brachypodium contig blocks against rice genome. The Brachypodium contigs were first aligned to 12 rice chromosomes based on BLAT analysis to generate 12 Brachypodium synteny contig blocks. These 12 Brachypodium synteny blocks were then compared with the pseudomolecules of rice chromosomes using dotplot analysis. Synteny blocks were detected, and background noise was filtered with SyMap [41]. Figure 5B. Ancient duplication within the rice and Brachypodium genomes. Evidence of ancient duplication can been seen when the rice chromosome is colinear to two Brachypodium contig blocks as highlighted by colored lines in the two genomes.
