Figure 3

MUMmer plot comparison of before (top) and after (bottom) reference-guided extension for chromosome 5.

The x-axis represents our assembled chromosome 5 and the y-axis represents JGI 8x v2 Sitalica_164 chromosome 5. The top panel showed that there were 5 regions over 400 kb in length that were present in JGI 8x v2 Sitalica_164 but not in TT8, with the most noticeable gap at the 33 Mbp to 38 Mbp x-axis range (indicated by a blue arrow). The bottom panel shows the final assembly that the horizontal gap has now been closed by an extension at 33 Mbp assembled by the leftover scaffolds and PE reads. The vertical gap is unchanged as it represents a portion of chromosome 5 absent in JGI 8x v2 Sitalica_164.
