FIG. 6.

Analysis of the Asembo1 strain. (A) PacBio read CQ (ratio of female/male data) over log10 of LSum (total length-normalized number of mapping reads from male and female illumina data) showing absence of X-specific repeat cloud in the Asembo strain. (B) Plot showing kmer-CQ versus abundance for selected X-chromosome specific and abundant kmers (red dots—candidate kmers) and those not suitable passing selection (gray dots). Blue dots indicate kmers mapping to the ribosomal array confirming that this locus is not X-specific in the Asembo1 strain (CQ—autosomal) and thus unsuitable for X-shredding. The 89 kmers that are selected and map to this locus have also been highlighted (top blue arrow).
