Each of the six T. vaginalis chromosomes I–VI are colored uniquely, and synteny blocks between the two species are indicated by ribbons connecting the chromosomes. Chromosomes are not shown in numbered order for visualization purposes. Blue graph plots show normalized TE density (genomic sequence classified as containing TEs) in 100 Kb windows on the top and bottom of each species’ chromosomes. Hi-C interaction maps are shown as red triangles above (T. vaginalis) and below (T. stableri) the TE density plots, with lengths of contigs from the assemblies shown as white squares for T. vaginalis and green squares for T. stableri.
