Figure 3. MAL CNV in Fungal Lineage.

Figure 3

The MAL gene family shows extreme copy number variation in yeasts, and the presence of MAL genes correlates with the ability to grown on maltose and methyl-α-glucoside. The species names of genomes that have been completely sequenced and assembled are indicated in bold. The number of MAL regulator genes (red), MAL transporter genes (blue) and MAL maltase genes (green) is denoted by the number of blocks to the right of the species name. The panel on the right indicates whether (+) or not (-) individual strains grow on maltose (MAL) and methyl-α-glucoside (Me-G). Strain-dependent growth is denoted as +/-. See Figure S3 and Table S3 for more information.
