Extended Data Fig. 7: Sex chromosome-specific rearrangements.
From: Evolution and functioning of an X–A balance sex-determining system in hops
Synteny plots between H. lupulus and H. japonicus, in three representative autosomes and their X chromosomes. Highly disrupted synteny in the X chromosome (a, b), than in the autosomes (c: Chr. 1, d: Chr. 5, e: Chr. 7). The X chromosome in H. japonicus is consitituted of HlX(j) and Hl3(j), and Hl3(j) region showed less disrupted synetny (against Chr. 3, an autosome in H. lupulus) than HlX(j). This is presumably due to a comparison between X (in H. japonicus) and autosome (in H. lupulus), and also due to recent conversion from an autosome to a part of Chr. X in Hl3(j).
