FST-predicted insertion in Chr5 is part of a fusion of Chr3 and Chr5, 2 T-DNA arrays detected at translocation fusion points of which one contains in addition an inversion of ~ 2 Mbp fused with another T-DNA array, additional insertion of a complex T-DNA array in Chr1.

Fusion of Chr3 and Chr5, FSTs are derived from the single DNA::genome junction that contains LB, both translocation fusions contain mostly canonical T-DNAs, failure to confirm 2nd T-DNA::genome junction explained by shortened T-DNA.

Three T-DNA insertion sites, two complex T-DNA arrays with one containing more than 5 kbp BVBd, the confirmed T-DNA insertion in Chr3 is complex, no theoretical explanation for failure of confirmation PCR at 2nd DNA::genome junction, one insertion in the pericentromeric region of (probably) Chr4 containing a rearranged RB region.

Fusion of Chr1 and Chr4 with a complex T-DNA array that also contains BVB, Chr1-part of the fusion predicted by FST, the compensating fusion of Chr4 and Chr1 does not contain T-DNA at the translocation fusion point, translocation explains failure to confirm 2nd T-DNA::genome junction, additional insertion of a T-DNA array in Chr2 with a 162 bp duplicated inversion at the integration site.

Large segmental duplication and inversion at the predicted insertion site, a long T-DNA array also containing BVB present at the southern end of the segmental duplication, inversion explains failure to confirm 2nd T-DNA::genome junction, the northern fusion point of the inverted segmental duplication does not contain T-DNA, another canonical T-DNA insertion in Chr2 but with 4 Mbp distance.

The predicted T-DNA insertion contains an inverted duplication of 20 kbp at the integration site explains why the 2nd T-DNA::genome junction could not be confirmed, integration of 652 bp derived from the plastome at the northern fusion point of the duplication but no T-DNA, two additional canonical T-DNA insertions in Chr1 and Chr2.

Complex T-DNA array insertion of 3 T-DNAs at the predicted insertion site in Chr1, no theoretical explanation for failure of the confirmation PCR at the 2nd DNA::genome junction, additional complex insertion containing 2 T-DNAs and BVB on Chr2.

  1. aLines with newly detected insertions, all lines are listed in Additional file 2
  2. bThe T-DNA insertion used for line selection was a false positive case not detected by ONT seq
  3. cOne locus in a line with a chromosome translocation causes the FSTs from this single locus to map to two places in the reference sequence. These two places might also be the source of potentially existing FST from the compensating chromosome fusion. If the compensating chromosome fusion does not contain a T-DNA, the number of insertions is lower than expected
