Overlapping gene module arrangements. Scheme of representative cassettes with overlapping modules detected in the six diplonemids studied here. Note that S. specki does not contain embedded modules and that N. karyoxenos lacks partially overlapping modules. Constant regions of chromosomes (indicated by chromosome IDs E01, U01, etc.; see also Supplementary Table S4) are depicted as black rectangles. Modules are represented by dark- and light-gray filled arrows. The arrow tip indicates the direction of module transcription. >>, modules encoded on the same strand; <>, 5′-ends of modules encoded on opposite strands overlap; ><, 3′-ends of modules encoded on opposite strands overlap.
