Fig. 2

Repeat-bounded gene structures in the D. papillatum nuclear genome. An example of a gene with a terminal region repeated multiple times adjacent to the expressed portion of the gene. DIPPA_19968 encodes a SufC homolog, a protein involved in iron-sulfur cluster synthesis. The 5′-terminal segment, including the 5′-UTR and part of CDS, is repeated 13 times upstream of the transcribed gene portion. Copies #1–#12 display 71–96% sequence identity, while the most distal repeat has only 47%. Middle pane: the G + C content plot reflects the repetitiveness of the region. Lower panel: long reads covering this region confirm the correctness of the genome assembly in this region
