Genomic organization of the Mx alpha units in DK1622 and DZF1 (DK101). (A) Organization of ORFs found in DK1622 from MXAN_1800 to MXAN_1900. Predicted gene functions are color coded. S/T, serine/threonine. (B) The same ORF map as that in panel A with corresponding map position of seven contigs from the DZF1 that perfectly map to this region (top). The DZF1 draft genome has 75 total contigs (27). Regions in nine DZF1 contigs that are homologous to MXAN_1800 to MXAN_1900 and are absent from the DK1622 genome are shown at the bottom. The green and blue contig bars presumably represent two different Mx alpha units. Contig numbers are given on the left. Note that there are gaps in and between some contigs in relation to the DK1622 region. In addition, contig regions that are not homologous to the DK1622 region (insertions) are not shown. In total, these nine contigs contain 200 kb of DNA. (C) Simplified Mx alpha map illustrating the deleted region in DK1622. See the text for additional details.
