Expansion mechanisms of VQs. a distribution of VQs in rice chromosomes showing their expansion by duplication and mobile elements. Tandemly duplicated genes are indicated with vertical blue bold lines. Segmentally duplicated genes were labelled with pink names and the duplicated pairs were linked with pink lines. The VQ gene 04 g57030 labelled with blue font was duplicated by Pack-MULE. Another VQ gene 09 g20020 labelled with green font is a retrogene. The prefix “LOC_Os” in each gene locus name was omitted for convenience. b Contribution of segmental duplication to the family expansion among 12 species
