—(a–d) Images of the corals whose genomes were compared. (a) An Acropora millepora colony and (b) a close up view of an A. millepora colony. (c) An Acropora digitifera colony and (d) a corresponding close up. Note that the colors are not taxonomically relevant and often vary between colonies. (e) Target coverage of predicted proteins matching to Swiss-Prot database proteins. The A. digitifera (v1) gene model was obtained from Shinzato et al. (2011). (f, g) Circos plots showing relationships between the A. millepora and A. digitifera genomes. The longest five reference scaffolds from (f) A. millepora (orange) or (g) A. digitifera (blue) are arranged around the circumference of the figure. For each reference scaffold, the top three scaffolds containing the most alignments in the other genome are shown. Each purple line crossing the circle represents a unique alignment and the units on the periphery represent 1 Mb. To facilitate display, the scaffold names were shortened as “amil.Sc0000000” to am0, “amil.Sc0000001” to am1, and so on for A. millepora; “NW_015441060.1” to ad1060, “NW_015441061.1” to ad1061, and so on for A. digitifera.
