Figure 2

Distribution of SNPs in C. pecorum genomes. The histograms show the number of SNPs in relation to the genomic positions between different C. pecorum genomes with a window size of 10 kb. The top left hand graph shows the SNP distribution between the koala C. pecorum MC/MarsBar genome and the livestock C. pecorum E58 genome while the bottom left hand graph shows the number of SNPs between two koala C. pecorum strains (MC/MarsBar and DBDeUG). The right hand graphs display the distribution of SNPs observed between the two USA livestock C. pecorum strains (VR629 and E58) and two of the European livestock strains (W37 and P787). The red boxes mark the positions of the two SNP hotspot regions identified in the koala C. pecorum strains. The first polymorphic region starts at 300 kb and is approximately 77 kb in length and the second region includes the plasticity zone.
