Fig. 2.

Schematic of ccmF_C gene structure in Cuscuta australis and its close relative Ipomoea nil compared to typical structure in angiosperms. Transcriptomic reads from both species are mapped to three DNA sequences with high similarity to ccmF_C from Cuscuta australis and three from Ipomoea nil. Red lines indicate mismatches in the mapped RNA reads and correspond to putative RNA editing sites. Light grey lines connect read pairs, while solid black lines indicate a break in a single read. Group II intron domains are denoted with Roman numerals. *The third domain in Cuscuta may not fold properly given its sequence divergence
