Transcript variants of products with AS between diploid and tetraploid watermelon using Spidey. Differentially spliced transcripts from RNA-seq were aligned manually to the corresponding locus of the International Cucurbit Genomics Initiative (ICuGI) genome using Spidey. The darker lines indicate genomic regions of the respective locus based on the start and end of transcripts. All forms of splicing variation are mapped into corresponding loci. Primers used in this study (Supplementary Table S7) for semi-quantitative RT-PCR are marked. The ICuGI locus number is given above each gene.

* indicates the annotated mRNA transcript from the database identified from RNA-seq data.
