The glyphosate resistant EPSPS locus and surrounding genomic landscape; highlighted in yellow is the EPSPS gene. The outer ideograms (blue is glyphosate resistant biotype and orange is glyphosate sensitive) are situated to depict the assembled 297,445 bp as a self-alignment. The outermost track is the gene annotation where the gene histograms that are transcribed in the clockwise direction are plotted in green in the outward direction, and gene histograms transcribed counterclockwise are plotted in yellow on the internal axis. The line graphs (orange and blue) represent aligned resistant and susceptible WGS reads reported as coverage depths. The light blue and light orange colors represent regions covered with up to 2,000 reads, and dark blue and dark orange mark regions covered by greater than 2,001 reads. Dark red glyphs indicate bases with “0” coverage. The inner track with red only histograms depicts predicted helitron sequences with LCV values of at least ‘3’, and the innermost histogram track displays predicted repetitive elements. The internal links connect repetitive regions by self-alignment of the molecule; black links are direct repeats and green are inverted in orientation
