Figure 3

Segmental duplications/multiplications or deletions underlying the clusters of GCNVs likely under parallel selection. Gene clusters that included GCNVs likely under parallel selection located in the linkage groups (A) VIII and (B) XIX are shown with three genes upstream or downstream. Each point represents the ratio of the average of the normalized numbers of the mapped reads between the two groups. The identified GCNVs with more copies in the marine and freshwater groups are colored by orange and blue, respectively. Genes were excluded from visualization if the median of the numbers of mapped reads per 100 bp of the gene length was less than one or if no reads were mapped in at least one individual. The error bars indicate standard deviations of the ratios that were calculated for pairs of freshwater and marine groups derived from the same geographic regions. (If multiple samples were derived from the same geographic region for either group, the average of the normalized number of reads was used for the calculation).
