Fig. 1: Clustering of the DHN-melanin biosynthesis gene assemblies in Penicillium roqueforti and closely related fungi (figure drawn to approximate scale).

From: New colours for old in the blue-cheese fungus Penicillium roqueforti

Fig. 1

Penicillium roqueforti genes ayg1 (Genbank CDM29601.1), arp2 (CDM29602.1), arp1 (CDM29603.1), abr1 (CDM29606.1), and alb1 (CDM29654.1) are all located on the same super contig HG792015.1. The laccase gene abr2 (CDM30362.1) is located on a separate super contig HG792016.1 (top). By contrast, DHN-melanin gene clusters in Aspergillus fumigatus and Penicillium marneffei are tightly linked in their genomes (bottom). Other non-pathway genes are shown in grey.
