Fig. 2

Physical maps of five Cryptomonas spp. nucleomorph genomes. The figure shows syntenic chromosomes aligned species by species. Recombined regions between different chromosomes are highlighted with blue and orange dashed boxes. A duplicated region containing five genes (BRSK, nol10, pab2, trf, and orf (CPARA_1gp179)) on chromosomes 2 and 3 of Cryptomonas species CCAC1634B is marked with a blue background box. Representative examples of obvious sequence conservation between single “large” hypothetical ORFs and two or more smaller hypothetical ORFs are highlighted with red brackets and arrowheads. Fragmented pseudogenes in the genomes of one or both non-photosynthetic strains are marked with asterisks and highlighted purple to match their intact counterparts in photosynthetic species
