Fig. 5: Transposable elements and tandem repeats.
From: Unravelling genomic drivers of speciation in Musa through genome assemblies of wild banana ancestors
Stacked curves representing the density of SIRE/Maximus transposable elements, centromeric sequences and tandem repeats along (a) the M. a. ssp. zebrina and (b) M. schizocarpa assemblies. The pink asterisk indicates that the region contains a stretch of N impacting the full representation of the rDNA cluster. Typical results of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on metaphase chromosomes of M. schizocarpa with (c) Nanica transposable elements detected in red, (d) 45S rDNA detected in pink and (e) Nanica transposable element detected in red and 5S rDNA detected in blue. White horizontal bars in (c), (d) and (e) represent 5.1 µm. Arrows in (d) indicate 45S rDNA detected with lower signal intensity. The inserts represent a chromosome that was offset from the presented field of view. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
