A. Comparison between human reference builds hg18 and hg19 by Miropeats. The traces between the top and bottom track represent the aligned paralogous sequences greater than 1 kb in size between the two builds. Inverted orientations of paralogous LCRs could be inferred (e.g. 45PROX and 45DIST, 358PROX and 358DIST) using the intersection point in a cluster as the indicator. Blue traces, aligned sequences from the 358 kb LCRs; red traces, aligned sequences from the 45 kb LCRs. Top track, human reference build hg18; bottom track, human reference build hg19. The positions of gaps in build hg18 are shown above the top track. “Segmental Dups” track from UCSC Genome Browser is shown below the Miropeats plots with the diagram of the SV haplotypes of the reference build hg19 shown underneath. B. Known SV haplotypes at the NPHP1 locus. Green block, NPHP1 gene; blue arrows, the 358 kb LCRs; red arrows, the 45 kb LCRs; CEN, centromeric side (proximal); TEL, telomeric side (distal).

A. UCSC Genome Browser custom track showing discordance fosmids identified in NA15510. Discordant fosmids representing NPHP1 inversion (red) and 45 kb LCR deletion (green) are shown on the custom track. B. SV haplotypes delineated by OM analysis. Four OM diagrams, from top to bottom, represent the in silico Rmap of hg19, the SwaI Rmap of NA10860, NA18994 and NA15510, respectively. Vertical black lines, individual restriction sites; purple area, the 45 kb LCR and its deletion product; green area, NPHP1 region and its inversion product. C. aCGH result of NA15510. The log2 ratio plot is shown. No CNV can be observed from the plot. D. Diagram showing the H2 SV haplotype of NA15510. The diagram results from data obtained from both OM and aCGH. E. OM results of CHM. F. Diagram showing the SV haplotype of CHM. Only one consensus map is found, which supports the H5 SV haplotype. G. OM results of H1-ES-P208. H. Diagram showing the SV haplotypes of H1-ES-P208. In total, three consensus maps are identified, indicating three different SV haplotypes (H5, H6 and H7).

Deletion of the 45 kb LCRs is accompanied with a 5936 bp insertion (5936Ins).
A. UCSC Genome Browser custom track of the five fosmids (WIBR2-2033B13, ABC12-49282900B12, ABC12-47010700M12, ABC24-1014G11 and ABC24-2481A19) with fully sequenced inserts. B. Diagram on the top shows the SV haplotype in the haploid reference. A hypothetical SV haplotype with 45DIST deleted from the reference is shown at the bottom. This hypothetical SV haplotype is shown only for the purpose of illustrating the deletion/insertion haplotype. In the middle, the breakpoints of the 45 kb LCR deletion and 5936Ins are shown at base pair resolution. The full insert sequence of the fosmid from individual ABC12 can be found in S3 Fig.

Blue and red arrows, one copy of the 358 kb LCRs and 45 kb LCRs for illustration purpose (the copy number of each LCR in NA10851, the universal aCGH reference, is annotated above the arrows); green segment, NPHP1. B-C. Plot of aCGH species average log2 ratios for humans (N = 10), baboon (N = 1), rhesus macaques (N = 2), gorillas (N = 3), chimpanzees (N = 7) and orangutan (N = 1). The probes target the genomic region defined in Fig 6A. The species average log2 ratio calculated for each probe is used for the plot. D. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) read-depth analysis in humans (N = 10), gorillas (N = 32), chimpanzees (N = 23) and orangutans (N = 17). The copy numbers indicated by WGS read-depth data are extracted from the dataset published by Sudmant et al [54]. The species average copy number calculated for each position is used for the plot. Blue, humans; yellow, baboon; brown, rhesus macaques; red, gorillas; green, chimpanzees; orange, orangutan. Regions between red dashed lines indicate the region that corresponds to the 45 kb LCRs.
