Figure 5.

A gene island sequence summary figure next to a deduced evolutionary tree from analysed genome sequences homologous to the wheat chromosome 3BL ctg1034 gene island. The red triangles indicate proposed insertion-deletion (InDel) events identified in this study. An example of a dot plot indicating the occurrence of InDels is shown beneath the pair-wise sequence comparison between the maize and S. bicolor. The analysis demonstrates the location of the InDels between the start of the cysteine-rich peptide gene (CRP1) to the end of the Zinc finger protein (ZFN1) region. A detailed analysis of the differences in length in this region between the genomes analysed (red triangles) is provided in the Additional file 2.
