Fig. 2: Assembly of repetitive components in the NC358 genome.
From: Effect of sequence depth and length in long-read assembly of the maize inbred NC358
a The assembled size of the 180-bp knob repeat, the knob TR-1 element, the chromosome 6 nucleolus organizer region (NOR) region, CentC arrays, and subtelomere arrays in each of the NC358 assemblies. b Length distribution of long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons longer than 26 kb. Each dot represents an annotated sequence. The box shows the median, upper and lower quartiles. Whiskers indicate values ≤ 1.5× interquartile range. d Telomere 7-mer counts in telomere regions of NC358 assemblies. Assembly of (c) LTR retrotransposons, (e) CentC arrays, (f) the chromosome 6 NOR region, (g) the Rp1-D and zein tandem gene arrays, and (h) two example knobs in each of the NC358 assemblies. The NC358 Bionano optical map was used to estimate the size of these components. Ngap, estimated gap size. Source data underlying Fig. 2a, b, i are provided as a Source Data file.
