Figure 3. Orthologous sequence comparisons between the 813 kb and 847 kb from the O. glaberrima cv. GC14 and O. sativa ssp. japonica cv. Nipponbare S₁ regions.

Comparisons were performed using dot plot alignment of the CG14 sequence (horizontal axis) against the Nipponbare sequence (vertical axis; coordinates 1,900,806–2,750,619-bp on chromosome 6). The S₁A, S₁ and S₁B regions are indicated along the horizontal axis. Positions and orientation of genes are symbolized by black and colored boxes along X and Y-axes. Colored boxes represent genes that disrupted microcollinearity. Clear boxes in the dot blot underline four large regions showing a strong disruption in the microcollinearity.
