Full transcription of the photosynthetic eukaryote chloroplast genomes.

(A,B) Integrated maps of the plastome transcription with the outer and third tracks representing the plastome genes, the inner track showing four genomic regions of the plastome and the black histogram of the second track representing RNAseq reads mapping (scale log₁₀-transformed numbers of sequence reads per nucleotide). The three species, rice, maize and Arabidopsis were integrated into (A) and two unicellular algae Chlamydomonas and C. paradoxa were integrated into (B). The genome map was proportional to its actual genome size. The separated transcription maps for these five species are also shown in Supplementary Fig. S1. Box-and-whisker plots (in which the whiskers denote the 5th and 95th quantiles) of log₂-transformed numbers of sequence reads per nucleotide for all intergenic sequences (NonCDS) and coding sequences (CDS). Diamonds represent outliers.
