Fig. 4

CIRCOS plots of genome alignments at the chromosome level. The Z chromosome corresponds to chromosome 1. Chromosomes of H. vespertilio are ordered by size. The letters “ScWp86a” in the scaffold names of Hyles vespertilio are omitted for clarity. a) Bombyx mori and H. vespertilio with automatic coloring using shinyCircos to facilitate correlation. b) Manduca sexta and H. vespertilio with coloring by chromosome. c) H. euphorbiae and H. vespertilio, with the 29 chromosomes of each species (H. vespertilio light grey boxes in the outer rim, H. euphorbiae dark grey boxes). The color of the links represents the strand orientation of the chromosomes of H. euphorbiae compared to the H. vespertilio strand orientation (green means + ; blue means -)
