Figure 1.—

Six-way Venn diagram showing the number of conserved loci identified among the different fungi. Six-frame translations of six different fungi (key, top left) were each compared to that of S. pombe. Each shape represents the set of loci in S. pombe with significant conservation to one of the six other fungi. Intersections between shapes represent intersections between each of these sets, and the size of each intersection is indicated. For example, 1921 conserved loci were identified between S. pombe and S. octosporus (top center), and an additional 496 loci between S. pombe, S. octosporus, and S. japonicus. (A) All conserved loci. (B) Loci after filtering to remove known coding regions.
