Characteristics of Numts and Other Shared Nuclear-Mitochondrial Sequences in Cucumber.

Distributions of lengths and percent identities between nuclear-mitochondrial matches corresponding to identifiable numts ([A] and [B]) and to shared sequences whose origin and direction of intercompartmental transfer are ambiguous ([C] and [D]). Results are based on a BLAST e-value cutoff of 1e^–12. The number of matches is shown by gray boxes and plotted on the left ordinate of each panel, whereas nuclear and mitochondrial genome coverage by sequences in each bin is plotted on the right ordinate.
