Figure 3. Large deletion verification in chromosome 1 of strain 708a by whole genome sequencing.

Figure 3

Genomic sequencing data from strain 708a were aligned against the K96243 reference genome. Panel A shows the read density near positions 2,024,621 and 2,155,359 on chromosome 1. Panel B shows the 708a read density across the ∼4.5 Kb flanking the deletion in chromosome 1 of strain K96243. The yellow highlighted region in panel B marks a ∼130.7 Kb region with a near-zero read coverage, which correspond to the panel A coordinates. This lack of reads is strong evidence for deletion of the entire region in strain 708a.
