FIG 2.

Syntenic organization of mating type (MAT) loci among Sordariomycetes. MAT genes are indicated by black arrows showing gene positions and orientation along the scaffolds. Overlapping genes presented in MAT1-1 and MAT1-2 loci are shown for heterothallic species, while both sets of MAT genes are shown in homothallic species. The surrounding genes of the MAT locus in Sordariomycetes are conserved. The MAT1-1 or MAT1-2 locus is flanked by APC5, cox13, and APN2 on one side and by SLA2 and ATG3 on the other side. Ribo. Prot., ribosomal protein; pol, polymerase; trasc. fac., transcription factor. Double slashes indicate a span of over 50 kb.
