Figure 6. Schematic representation of the draft mitochondrial genome of L. patella animal L2 (top, to scale).

The hive plots [61] at the bottom of the figure show that the L2 assembly is syntenic with contigs assembled of the mitochondrial genomes of L5 and L6. In these plots, protein-coding genes are represented as circles, and contig boundaries are represented as zigzag lines. Homologous genes are joined by curved lines colored according to the sequence identity of the gene relevant gene pair. Abbreviations: COX, cytochrome c oxidase; NADH, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase.
