Figure 2

Overview of microsynteny between four melon scaffolds and four regions in the C. sativus genome. Genes are represented by square blocks. Homologous genes are illustrated with the same colour and indicated by connecting lines of the corresponding colour. Ab initio predicted genes with no homology to public EST or protein databases are shown in black. Transposable elements are in gray, with red asterisks as an additional mark for retrotransposons. Genes coding for NBS-LRR disease resistance proteins are represented by square block filled with blue vertical lines. Putative pseudogenes are depicted as black edge boxes. The annotation of C. melo scaffoldMRGH63 and scaffold00077 was complemented using information from ca. 57 kb and 96 kb, respectively, of unpublished melon sequence (represented in the figure as red edge boxes). Figure drawn to scale.
