Gene fragments identified by AnABlast profiles. (A) Peak in the Chr I: 5543318-5543498 interval (forward strand) uncovers a fragment of Tf1 protein (S. pombe ref gb|AAA35339.1|, e-value: 2e−15). (B) Peak in the Chr I: 5536277-5538575 interval (reverse strand) encodes a polypeptide sequence belonging to a MIP water channel (S. pombe ref|NP_592788.1|, e-value: 5e−12). (C) Main AnABlast peak (arrow) at Chr II: 4452616-4452379 encodes a chimeric fragment of amino acid permeases (Chr II: 4452616-4452443, S. pombe ref|NP_596849.1|. e-value: 2e−20) fused in frame to another one sharing significant identity to bacterial transposases (Chr II: 4452444-4452379, Desulfobacter postgatei ref|WP_004074224.1|, 73% identity). (D) Peaks (arrows) at the Chr I: 5153233-5153041 and Chr I: E 5153042-5152866 intervals (reverse strand) encode fragments of cell surface glycoproteins (S. pombe ref|NP_588570.2|, e-values of concatenated sequence: 3e−72). (E and F) Genomic subtelomeric regions (Chr I: 5569804-5575195 and Chr II: 4514601-4519772, respectively) showing similar AnABlast profiles highlighting fragments of RecQ type DNA helicase coding sequences (Schizosaccharomyces pombe ref|NP_595040.1|, e-value: 0,0) and DUF999 family proteins (SPAC212.04c, e-value: 0,0). Pombase annotations and colour codes for reading frames of the analysed genomic intervals are shown. This figure is available in black and white in print and in colour at DNA Research online.
