Dissection of Besnoitia besnoiti intermediate host life cycle stages: From morphology to gene expression
Fig 5
Synteny and orthology between Besnoitia besnoiti, Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum.
(A) Synteny mapping of the 19 contigs of B. besnoiti that are larger than 100 kb shows the genomic organization of the B. besnoiti genome to T. gondii and N. caninum. Syntenic regions are highlighted with coloured lines within the circle. Labelling of the B. besnoiti chromosomes is according to GenBank (B. besnoiti Ger1 reference strain). (B) Synteny mapping as in (A), but exclusively of T. gondii and N. caninum contigs. (C) Phylogenetic organization of B. besnoiti, T. gondii and N. caninum. Branch length represents substitution rate (substitutions per site). Chr: Chromosome; Unp: Unplaced contig.
