Fig. 3From: Higher-order organisation of extremely amplified, potentially functional and massively methylated 5S rDNA in European pikes (Esox sp.)(A) Distribution of SNPs along the E. lucius 5S rDNA unit. Data were obtained from mutation analysis of Illumina reads (Additional file 4: Table S1). Note, absence of SNPs in the internal controlling region composed of Box-A, IE and Box-C elements. MNP–multinucleotide polymorphism defining two prominent spacer variants (“T” and “A”). (B) Distribution of IGS variants in three PacBio reads (a - c). Slanted lines indicate tandemly arranged units visualized through the alignment of reads (x-axis) with a 5S gene (y-axis). The position of the “T” and “A”. variants is indicatedBack to article page
