Figure 3

Gene partitioning patterns of ulvophycean chloroplast genomes. The suite of genes in each IR-containing genome is displayed so that the SC region with the gene content the most similar to that predicted for the ancestral SSC region of core chlorophytes is presented at the bottom of the figure. Thick vertical lines delimit the genes encoded in the IR (thick black lines, identical IR copies; thick brown lines, divergent IR copies). The genes making up the rDNA operon are highlighted in yellow whereas those present in the SSC region of Trichosarcina are highlighted in blue. Red letterings designate the genes of ancestral LSC origin that have been acquired by the IRs of core chlorophytes.
