Figure 5. Identification of PAVs from the 4.4-M mapped tags.

The 4.4-M mapped tags were aligned to the B73 reference genome and the physical positions were compared with their genetic positions. If a tag did not align to the reference or did not have alignment within the 10-Mb region of its genetic position, then it would be considered as a PAV tag. The B73 tags are those that have at least one perfect match to the reference genome.
