Figure 4From: Homologues of potato chromosome 5 show variable collinearity in the euchromatin, but dramatic absence of sequence similarity in the pericentromeric heterochromatinRegions with substantial loss of sequence collinearity in the proximal part of the north euchromatin of chromosome 5. A. Alignment of RH BAC MTP 178 {−} versus the DM reference sequence. The grey zone marks 50 kb of spacer sequence that fills a gap of unknown length between superscaffolds 540 and 216 in the DM pseudomolecule sequence. The position of BAC clone RH196F10 is shown in MTP 178 {−}. This clone was used for in situ hybridization in Figures 1B and 2. B. Alignment of RH haplotype {1} BAC MTP 799 versus the DM reference sequence. The position of BAC clone RH076O08 (blue) is shown in MTP 799 {1}. This clone was used for in situ hybridization in Figures 1B and 2. C. RH haplotype {0} BAC MTP 2540 versus the same DM region as in (B). The dark boxes in alignment (C), which are also partly visible in alignment (B), are caused by a 180 bp sized tandem repeat.Back to article page
