Normalized Illumina read mapping to the SMRT assembly of Forc016 confirms horizontal transfer of chrRC in a Fo47 background. (A) Reads mapped more abundantly to the transferred chrRC sequence than the rest of the assembly. (B) HCT strains #2, #4, #9 showed a relative (compared to total # mapped reads) depth of coverage of ~4 on chrRC, whereas the relative coverage of HCT#8 sequences was ~8 along the entire chromosome. This indicates a chromosomal duplication, in accordance with the ~5Mb-sized band in the CHEF gel in Fig. 5.
