From: Gene alterations at Drosophila inversion breakpoints provide prima facie evidence for natural selection as an explanation for rapid chromosomal evolution

Figure 6

Annotation of inversion 2q distal and proximal breakpoint regions in D. virilis (non-inverted chromosome) and D. mojavensis (inverted chromosome). Inverted duplications in the D. mojavensis breakpoints are enclosed within dotted boxes, light blue (1 kb) or orange (4.3 kb). These duplications were presumably generated by staggered single-strand breaks in the parental chromosome represented by dotted red lines flanked by red arrows. Dmoj\GI22075, a novel gene not present in D. virilis breakpoint regions, was generated by the partial duplication of CG1208. Two unidentified TE insertions are found between the duplicated sequences in D. mojavensis BD region. Other symbols as in Figure 4.
