Figure 5

The similar regions of three mammalian chromosomes. The results of comparing the three unmasked mammalian X chromosomes, projected w.r.t. the human and mouse chromosomes. (Other projections are not shown.) Red lines correspond to chains between the forward strands of the X-chromosomes on the x- and y-axis. Green lines correspond to chains between the forward strand of the X-chromosome on the x-axis and the backward strand of the X-chromosome on the y-axis, i.e., they correspond to inversions. The plot on the upper left shows projection of the orthologous proteins w.r.t. the human and mouse chromosomes. (Different colors refer to different orientations.) The plot on the upper right shows projections of the resulting three dimensional chains w.r.t. the human and mouse chromosomes. The plot on the lower left shows the results of the double-chaining strategy. The lower right plot shows the synteny blocks computed by CoCoNUT.
