Fig. 3

Read coverage is depicted for individual 215 (containing ♂ and ♀-type genomes) and individual 265 (containing ♂ -type genome only). Region coverage is depicted in green for the ♂-type genome from position 2221 to 2520 (A), in dark red for the corresponding region in the ♀-type genome from position 2554 to 2874 (B), and in light blue for a ♀-type genome region with only a few ♂-type genome similarities from position 9270 to 10106 (C). D Comparison of the strains analyzed by number of matching reads per 100 bases. X-axis: strain numbers, Y-axis: counts. Only in strains 201, 215, 311, 380, and 388 reads with ♀-type genome signature were found. Other strains presumably contain ♂-type genomes only in their somatic tissues.
