Figure 1: Repeat-driven genome expansion in Phytophthora infestans.
From: Genome sequence and analysis of the Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans
Conserved gene order across three homologous Phytophthora scaffolds. Genome expansion is evident in regions of conserved gene order, a consequence of repeat expansion in intergenic regions. Genes are shown as turquoise boxes, repeats as black boxes. Collinear orthologous gene pairs are connected by pink (direct) or blue (inverted) bands.
