Figure 6
Fox paralogs do not present syntenic relationships in Smed genome. Alignments between scaffolds containing same-family Fox genes are represented with Circos. The Circos representation is composed of two tracks: In the outer ring the scaffolds containing Fox genes are labelled with their name (each tick representing 150 kb); in the inner ring, the repeating elements29 coloured in green (LINEs), blue (TLR) and black (simple repeats and other). Repeats are filtered to be shown only when greater than 1 kb. Grey lines connecting the scaffolds are the representation of the alignments, filtered to be shown only when greater than 1 Kb. In each scaffold, the region corresponding to the Fox gene (+ -5 Kb) is represented as a perpendicular darker region, and all the links that fall onto it are coloured accordingly.
