Change in morphology affected by chromosome XVI copy number. (A) Phenotypic toggling of naturally derived strains. Plots of RAD-seq data show the presence of an extra chromosome XVI in F45 Smooth and its subsequent loss in the fluffy revertant (F45 “2nd Gen”). Chromosomes are alternatively colored black and red. (B) Colony morphology in YO880 (SI Appendix, Table S1), a strain unrelated to F45. The loss of an extra chromosome XVI also correlates with the gain in complex colony morphology in this strain background.
