Alignment of Hierarchical Genome Assembly Process (HGAP) assembled N67 contigs to the 17X chromosomes. The alignments were generated using progressiveMauve. Each color corresponds to a localized co-linear block (LCB) that is conserved across the two genomes. Inside each LCB, the jagged dark lines represent the similarity profile; with darker colors representing higher similarity regions. The vertical red lines indicate chromosome boundaries in 17X and the contig boundaries on the N67 sequences. Note a contig on N67 chromosome 4 that is inverted (presented under the chromosome line) in reference to that of the 17X sequence
