Figure 7. Recent pseudogenes in Ca. E. faulkneri L2 and L5 contain many frame-shifts and in-frame stop codons, and exhibit GC content higher than most intergenic sequences (see Table 1).

Syntenic regions in Ca. E. faulkneri L2 (red, outside) and L5 (blue, inside) are shown aligned, with heatmaps showing the locations of stop codons in three frames (for simplicity, each region is shown in the same orientation, where the forward coding direction is clockwise), and GC content shown in histograms. Intact genes are shown in light green, while pseudogenous regions that show homology in BLASTX/TBLASTN searches are shown in light orange. The locations of these regions are shown in relation to the L2 chromosome (center).
