Fig. 3: Chromosomal inversion events within the Oryza lineage.

a, An AA-genome-specific inversion (~170 kb, bearing 14 orthologous genes) took place approximately 4.4 million years after the split with BB-genome species (cladogram branch lengths not to scale). b, Placement of nine shared inversion events in the Oryza species tree. Inversions were detected as syntenic blocks of five or more genes in reverse orientation as compared to the O. sativa vg. japonica reference and were verified using the B. distachyon outgroup as representing the ancestral state. Nodes are labeled with letters as in Supplementary Fig. 4. The length of the branches (units million years; not drawn to scale) is indicated beneath the branches, while the number of scored inversion events is indicated above the branches. The approximate rate of inversion is shown in red.
