Figure 4

Comparative chromosomal distribution of SIDERs in three Leishmania species. Three examples of the comparative distribution of SIDER1 and SIDER2 sequences in L. major (LmjF), L. infantum (LinJ) and L. braziliensis (LbrM) are shown. Colored bars represent SIDERs, grey bars represent predicted open reading frames, and pink blocks illustrate syntenic relationships. (A) Segment of chromosome 18 where SIDER positions are synonymous in the three species. (B) Chromosome 1 displaying divergence in SIDER distribution amongst the three species. (C) Segment of chromosome 32 displaying both previous examples and an inversion of synteny flanked by SIDERs in L. infantum.
