FIGURE 2.
Gene density (blue) and telomere positioning (red) on the A. hortensis chromosomes. A conserved telomere repeat sequence in plants (TTTAGGG; Richards and Ausubel, 1988) was used to locate telomere positions using BLAST searches. The x-axis represents the position on the chromosome, while the y-axis represents the frequency of genes or telomeric repeats in each bin.
