Fig. 3From: Copy number variation contributes to cryptic genetic variation in outbreak lineages of Cryptococcus gattii from the North American Pacific NorthwestGenes overlapping with copy number variants across VGIIa, VGIIb, and VGIIc isolates. Scatter plots represent the number of duplications (X-axis) and deletions (Y-axis) that partially (a) and (b) entirely overlap genes, with marginal density distribution plots for each axis. c–f 95 % confidence intervals and VGIIa, VGIIb, and VGIIc subpopulation means were calculated using 1,000,000 bootstrap replicates. VGIIc has fewer partially duplicated genes than VGIIa (p = 0.034) (c) and more partially deleted genes than VGIIa (p = 0.006) and VGIIb (p = 0.012) (e). VGIIc has fewer whole duplicated genes than VGIIb (p = 0.039) (d), and VGIIa has fewer whole deleted genes than VGIIb (p <6e−5) and VGIIc (p <6e−5) (f). Three individuals from VGIIb with high frequencies of duplication events were removed for scaling in (a) and (b) but were retained for statistical analysis (c–f)Back to article page
