Shown at the bottom is a map of the genes on the dot chromosome. Colored bars with labels represent genes for which we have identified a (complete or partial) homologue in the fosmids sequenced. Colored boxes above the scale bar are schematic (not to scale) representations of the contigs. Immediately above the scale bar is a representation of those sequenced contigs that contain syntenic regions from , where genes are in the same order and orientation as in . In the uppermost portion of the figure are the contigs mapping to the dot chromosome that are rearranged with respect to the dot chromosome. Boxes are color-coded to represent the genes present in the contig, with dashed lines connecting to show the extent of rearrangement. Notably, contig 30 contains both and , which lie on opposite sides of the banded portion of the dot chromosome.
