Hidden genomic evolution in a morphospecies—The landscape of rapidly evolving genes in Tetrahymena
Fig 6
Differential distributions of the 3 groups of LRR genes and the 3′ terminal segment of Tt.REPs along the 5 T. thermophila MIC chromosomes.
Central ring: the 5 chromosomes in the T. thermophila MIC genome; group III: group III LRR genes; y-axis, number of genes. Group III: group II LRR genes; group I: group I LRR genes; REP: 54-bp conserved sequences at 3′ end of Tt.REPs; y-axis, number of Tt.REPs (represented by 54-bp conserved sequences). chr1, Chromosome 1; LRR, leucine-rich repeat; MIC, micronucleus; Tt.REP, T. thermophila REP retrotransposon.
