Fig. 6

Predicted ploidy of chromosome 11 of the T. cruzi Y strain. The blue line corresponds to the normalized RDC of each position of chromosome 11, estimated by the ratio between the RDC and the genome coverage. Below, the protein-coding genes are depicted as rectangles drawn in proportion to their length, and their coding strand is indicated by their position above (top strand) or below (bottom strand) the central line. Black and cyan rectangles represent the housekeeping/hypothetical and multicopy gene families, respectively. Gaps are represented by gene-less regions with no read coverage. The red line corresponds to the 248-kb position in this chromosome, which separates the regions of low RDC and high RDC (a). The non-normalized mean RDC estimated based on the SCoPE approach of the genes that were upstream and downstream of the 248-kb position was estimated (b)
