Figure 3

Chimpanzee Contig412.192. In (a), Contig412.192 is placed in the chimpanzee assembly on chromosome 1 such that mated reads pointing to the right have compressed mate pair distances and mated reads pointing to the left have stretched mate pair distances. (b) By moving the 1,537 bp contig to a nearby location where it aligns in its entirety at 98.9%, the distances between mated reads become far more consistent with their library insert lengths. Thus, Contig412.192 is classified as a spurious duplication.
