Figure 3. Macro-synteny among P. dactylifera scaffolds and other monocotyledon chromosomes.

Scaffolds pdS00001 (4.5 M), pdS00072 (1.1 M), pdS00080 (1 M) pdS00086 (1 M) and pdS00147 (0.7 M) have the same syntenic pattern with other monocotyledons. In addition, the latter four scaffolds have syntenic regions with pdS00001 and are inferred to be duplicated at monocotyledon ancestry (Supplementary Fig. S5). The unit of scale is million base pairs or Mb for other monocotyledon chromosomes. All P. dactylifera scaffolds are enlarged 30 × for illustration.
