Figure 2.

Barley – rice synteny. Best sequence similarities are displayed for syntenic barley ESTs placed on the seven barley chromosomes (Hv1H – Hv7H) to the rice genome (Os01 – Os12) by connecting lines. Histograms at barley chromosomes show the total number of markers and the proportion of those markers with synteny to rice in grey and red, respectively (10 cM intervals, scale: 0 – 50, scale spacing 5). Outer bars at the rice chromosomes show duplicated segment pairs within the rice genome (see Figure 1), inner bars indicate syntenic regions to the barley genetic map. The 12 histograms along the rice chromosomes show the ratio to the total number of annotated rice genes, which were syntenic to barley (scale: 0 – 0.08, scale spacing 0.02). Positions for rice are in Mb and for barley in cM.
