Forty new genomes shed light on sexual reproduction and the origin of tetraploidy in Microsporidia

Synteny plots of chromosomal microsporidian genome assemblies.
Genome-wide synteny plots of all chromosomal microsporidian genome assemblies for (A) Enterocytozoonida, Nosematida, and Neopereziida; and (B) Amblyosporida and the Orphan lineage. Each line represents a single-copy BUSCO (microsporidia_odb10) [76]. In (A) BUSCOs are painted by their chromosomal position in A. locustae, while in (B) they are painted by their chromosomal position in H. tvaerminnensis. The attached phylogeny is an ASTRAL phylogeny summarizing individual phylogenies of 600 BUSCO genes (microsporidia_odb10) [76]. The branch lengths were subsequently estimated using a concatenated alignment of the individual BUSCOs used, with IQ-TREE [77]. The BUSCO annotations underlying this figure can be found in File Collection 5 at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17251512. The figure was generated using the ribbon plotting script in https://github.com/conchoecia/odp [109] and ToyTree [73], and manually annotated using InkScape (version 1.2.2).
