From: Characterization of Toxoplasma gondii subtelomeric-like regions: identification of a long-range compositional bias that is also associated with gene-poor regions

Figure 1

Telomeric-associated sequences are shared between Toxoplasma chromosome ends. A) Circular ideogram for genome visualization using circos [62]. Chromosomes (I-XII) were laid out in order and labeled with different colors. Centromeres (in green), and TgTAS-like regions (in red) are highlighted in the central white boxes. 50 Kb regions containing the TgTAS-like sequences were zoomed (x10) (see the ruler above chromosomes). Sequence similarity is depicted as ribbons connecting matching regions (red ribbons for TAS-like regions, black ribbons for all other regions). The two inner grey circles show the location of annotated genes in black. B) a section of the visualization showing a magnification of chromosomes II and III. Blue arrows indicate the presence of only one gene at the end of each TgTAS-like block.
