Multi-dimensional topography of chickpea linkage group 1.

(A) Pericentromeric region of linkage group 1 was identified based on comparison of physical distance (X-axis) with gene density (green line, left Y-axis), repeat density (maroon line, right Y-axis) and average genetic distance (purple line, Y-axis). Vertical bars indicate positions of transition from euchromatic arms to pericentromeric arms. (B) Distribution of repeats (a), genes (b), RNAseq reads from vegetative tissues (young root and shoot, matured leaf) (green) and reproductive tissues (flower, young pod) (red) (c), microRNA loci (d), gene models encoding transcription factors (green) and R-genes (red) (e). All measurements are performed in 1 Mb sliding window increasing every 200 kb (other LGs are shown in supplementary figure S4).
