Fig. 1.

Duplicated segments within the soybean genome. Colored blocks to the left of each chromosome show regions of correspondence with chromosomes of the same color. For example, the light blue blocks at the top of Gm09 correspond with regions on the light blue Gm15, and vice versa. These correspondences are remnants after the Glycine genome duplication. Locations of centromeric repeats are shown as black rectangles over the chromosomes. Regions lacking internal correspondences (generally near chromosome centers) mark the approximate locations of the gene-poor pericentromeres. This figure is derived from the CViT genome search and synteny viewer (Cannon and Cannon (submitted)) at the Legume Information System, http://comparative-legumes.org/.
