Figure 1

Turkey chromosome 2 (MGA2) rearrangements. Chromosome segments are shaded to indicate relative directionality: inversion 1, green and yellow; inversion 2, blue and brown. Arrows (red, inversion 1; blue, inversion 2) connect the inverted segment edges. Constrictions indicate the likely centromere locations. Selected overgo probe marker hybridizations from those supporting the rearrangements are shown. BES mate pairs whose spacing and strandedness support the two proposed rearrangements are listed. Inversion 1 is supported by markers RNT4 and 105G04T as well as 7 paired-end BES matches (Additional file 4: Table S4). Inversion 2 is supported by markers 100P13S and 103G13S, together with 6 paired-end BES spanning the breakpoint. DNA markers 02G07S and OTOR are located at the breakpoint of inversion 2 as landmarks.
