Fig. 7

Putative transcripts in the inverted repeat region. The schematic representation of the inverted repeat (here IRa) region of the mitochondrial genome of C. albicans, annotated as in Figs. 1 and 2b, with unannotated transcriptionally active regions shown on insets. The positions correspond to the numbering in the reference sequence. Promoter sites are marked by flags: larger red flags denote main promoters for transcription units (confirmed by 5’-RACE), and yellow flags correspond to putative additional promoters with some support from RNA-seq reads (sequences conforming to the promoter consensus, but with no evidence for activity were omitted for clarity). The major primary transcription units (TUs) are shown as red arrows, and the putative transcripts of unknown function as red bars. Insets show sequencing reads mapping in the unannotated noncoding regions that show significant transcriptional activity. The promoter positions in the insets correspond to the +1 nucleotide. The consensus nonanucleotides of each promoter are shown as the sense strand sequence (reverse promoters are in red, while the forward strand promoter is in green). Bars on the right side of the insets provide the scale for number of sequencing reads mapped (note that these are not linear, and not to scale for the two regions). Read mapping was visualized in CLC Genomics Suite 8 and edited for clarity
