Fig. 1: New biological and genomic resources for the aphid Myzus persicae reveal the genome-wide patterns of genetic variation in clones sampled from across the world.

a Chromosome-scale genome assembly of M. persicae clone G006. Heatmap shows frequency of HiC contacts along the genome assembly. Blue lines indicate super scaffolds and green lines show contigs, with the X axis showing cumulative length in millions of base pairs (Mb). b Geographic origin and sequence coverage of the 127 resequenced clones of M. persicae used in this study. c Circular plot of genome-wide genetic variation in a global sample of 127 M. persicae clones. The outermost circle represents the 6 chromosome-sized super-scaffolds of the genome assembly, with scaffold 1 the X chromosome. Moving inwards the circles represent: gene density, SNP density, GC and AT% over 100 kb non-overlapping windows.
