Fig. 2: Alignment of M. floridulus chromosomes with sorghum or S. spontaneum chromosomes.
From: The reference genome of Miscanthus floridulus illuminates the evolution of Saccharinae
a, A set of two homoeologous chromosomes aligned to a single sorghum chromosome except MfChr7, MfChr13 and MfChr8, among which MfChr7 aligned to Sbchr4, MfChr13 aligned to Sbchr7 and MfChr8 aligned to Sbchr4 and Sbchr7. b, Alignment of M. floridulus chromosomes with S. spontaneum chromosomes. c, The split chromosome homoeologous to Sbchr7 were inserted into the chromosome homoeologous to SbChr4 in M. floridulus. The red triangle indicates the centromere of MfChr8. Note that there is an inversion in Sbchr4 compared with MfChr7, MfChr8 (blue lines) and SsChr4ABCD15. d, Gene count along the MfChr8 chromosome using 2 Mb as a window and 200 kb as a shift. Dashed lines indicate the joint regions linking the split chromosome segments homoeologous to Sbchr7 and Sbchr4 and the third region (blue dashed lines) corresponds to the new evolved centromere of MfChr8.
