Figure 5.

LAC1 coding region. This schematic shows the Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) that we found within the coding region of the LAC1 gene, in our study population of C. neoformans var. neoformans. Only those SNPs with a minor allele frequency ≥10% are shown here. The green boxes represent exons and the white boxes in between represent the introns. The four SNPs highlighted in red cause non-synonymous amino acid changes whereas the rest are synonymous SNPs. Three of the four non-synonymous SNPs are located within putative catalytic domains of the Lac1 protein.
