Figure 1.
Distribution of Ds Insertions on Maize Chromosomes 1 to 3. Three maize chromosomes are shown, with physical distance in megabases (Mb) on the horizontal axis (left) and genetic distance in centimorgans (cM) at right. The number of Ds insertions per 5-Mb or 5-cM bin is shown as a smoothed curve, in red; the number and positions of BACs hit by a Ds insertion are indicated by the vertical and horizontal positions of the blue dots. The centromere is marked by a black diamond. [Reprinted from Vollbrecht et al. (2010).]

Syntenic and Nonsyntenic Loci in Wheat, Rice, and Brachypodium. Orthologous chromosomes from wheat (Ta), Brachypodium distachyon (Bd), and rice (Os), with syntenic genes displayed as black boxes and nonsyntenic genes in white. [Reprinted from Choulet et al. (2010).]
