Figure 2.—

Comparison of orthologous regions of (A) japonica and (B) indica. Arrows represent predicted genes. Gray-shaded boxes and cross-hatched boxes represent retrotransposons and DNA transposons, respectively. The shaded regions connecting the japonica and indica sequences outline the conserved regions between these two subspecies. Because the indica sequence is fragmentary, we cannot compare the order or orientation of the sequences on different indica fragments with the ordered sequence for japonica. mys, million years since insertion.
