Fig 1. The D. persimilis Sex-Ratio (SR) chromosome is precisely collinear with D. pseudoobscura.

Fig 1

(A) The right arm of the X chromosome (XR) of D. persimilis is normally inverted as compared to its sister species, D. pseudoobscura, but the D. persimilis Sex-Ratio chromosome is collinear with its sister species. (B) Polytene chromosome squash of a D. persimilis SR/D. pseudoobscura hybrid female demonstrating perfect interspecies collinearity on XR. (C) Amplification and sequencing of the proximal breakpoint of the D. persimilis inversion reveals that the breakpoints are collinear at the base-pair level.
