Figure 1: C. hirsuta genome.
From: The Cardamine hirsuta genome offers insight into the evolution of morphological diversity
a, Phylogenetic tree for A. thaliana, A. lyrata, C. rubella, C. hirsuta, E. salsugineum, S. parvula, B. rapa and A. arabicum constructed using 10,111 orthologous genes within these eight species. Bold branches have maximum confidence35. The number of gene families expanded (red) or contracted (blue) compared with the most recent ancestor common ancestor (MRCA) are indicated along each branch. b, The upper panel shows the position of genetic markers mapped to the C. hirsuta genome assembly; the y-axis shows the genetic distance; shaded regions are inferred centromeric or pericentromeric heterochromatic regions that show very rare recombinations. The lower panel shows a rainforest plot of long terminal repeat (LTR) genes in the C. hirsuta genome; the y-axis shows the minimum distance of each LTR gene to its neighbours in a logarithmic scale. Chromosomes are indicated on the x-axis. c,d, Circos plots showing synteny between the genomes of A. thaliana (ath) and C. hirsuta (chi) (c), and A. lyrata (aly) and C. hirsuta (chi) (d); the outer circle shows the gene density distribution with a window size of 100 kbp.
