Fig. 2

a Schematic of the structural differences (upper panel) and sequence variation (lower panel) that can be identified between chromosome-level assemblies. Note, local sequence variation can reside in syntenic as well as in rearranged regions. The barplots on the right upper side show the total span of syntenic and rearranged regions between the reference and each of other accessions (colors match the schematic on the left): The left barplots shows the sequence span in respect to the reference sequence, while the right plot shows the sequence space, which is specific to each of the accessions. The barplots on the right lower side show local sequence variation (per kb) in syntenic (left) and rearranged (right) regions between the reference and each of other accessions (again colors match the schematic on the left). b Size distributions of different types of structural and sequence variation. c Gene copy-number variations between the reference and each of the accessions. The left barplots shows the fraction of reference genes which are in gene families with conserved or variable copy numbers. The right barplots shows the number of non-reference genes found in at least two accessions, or found to be specific to an accession genome. d Pan-genome and core-genome estimations for sequence (upper plot) and gene space (lower plot) were based on all pairwise whole-genome and gene set comparisons across all eight accessions. Each black point corresponds to a pan- or core-genome size estimated with a particular combination of genomes. Pan-genome (blue) and core-genome (red) estimations were fitted using an exponential model. Source Data are provided as a Source Data file.
