Cot curve for bald cypress. (A) A least-squares curve (black line) was fit through the data points (gray circles) using the CotQuest program of Bunge et al. [34]. The curve consists of highly repetitive (HR), moderately repetitive (MR) and single/low copy (SL) components, characterized by fast, intermediate, and slow reassociation, respectively. Blue, green, and red diamonds mark the Cot1/2 values of the HR, MR, and SL components. The brackets centered at a particular Cot1/2 marker show the "two Cot decade region" in which 80% of the sequences in that component will renature [63]. The blue shaded region at the top of the curve shows the double-stranded HR DNA (plus foldback sequences) isolated for sequencing. Biological data obtained from curve analysis is shown in Table 1. (B) The predicted individual renaturation profiles of the HR component, MR component, and SL component are shown.
