Fig 2. The distribution of PQS across the S. mansoni chromosomal assembly.

Fig 2

Both intragenic and intergenic PQS (n = 406) were mapped to chromosomes (S. mansoni genome, v7.1). A) IGV snapshot of the chromosomal assembly, where PQS appearing in close proximity are visualised as longer bars. Chromosomes are ordered according to size (largest to smallest). B) A phenogram mapping the position of PQS along the length of the chromosome (autosomes ordered sequentially). PQS appear on both forward and reverse strands. Numbers above each chromosome represent % GC content. C) Total number of PQS identified per chromosome (sequentially ordered). Chromosome 5 has the greatest number of PQS (n = 100) whilst the fewest were detected in chromosome 7 (n = 19). D) PQS density per Mb of chromosome. Average PQS/Mb found in the complete chromosomal assembly is indicated by a dashed line and denotes a baseline. Enrichment of PQS within any chromosome is found above this dotted line.
