Identification of Breakpoints. From a list of high-scoring segment pairs (HSPs) obtained by use of BLASTN or TBLASTX and reduced to a non-overlapping subset by greedy-with-trimming [23], the number of breakpoints can be inferred as follows. In our example, the HSP (x 5, x 6, y 5, y 6) is located between the HSPs (x 1, x 2, y 1, y 2) and (x 3, x 4, y 3, y 4) in genome Y but not in genome X. This will be counted as a single breakpoint.
