Schematic representation of the five E chromosome arrangements considered in this study and their breakpoint regions. Discontinuous lines connecting two chromosomal arrangements indicate the inversions that differentiate them. On each chromosomal arrangement, the breakpoints involved in inversions E₁, E₂, E₉, E₃ and E₁₂ are indicated, although only those used for karyotyping are highlighted. Circles indicate fragments exclusive of one arrangement (fully diagnostic). Rectangles indicate fragments that are shared by two or more arrangements. Inverted triangles indicate an initially used fragment (AK) that later was discarded due to its high failure to amplify frequency. A rhombus indicates a fragment that is only used to discern between the E _1+2+9+3 /E _1+2+9+3 and E ₁₊₂₊₉ /E _1+2+9+3 karyotypes.
