Figure 1

Next generation sequencing hit-count ratios between male and female genomes. (a) All scaffolds arranged by Criscione et al. [22] in linkage groups. For autosomes, the expected ratio would be 1; for Z-specific scaffolds, the expected ratio would be 2 . Scaffolds are in the order defined by Criscione et al. (b) Male/female hit-count ratios and qPCR ratios for the Criscione et al. linkage group 2 (sex chromosomes). (c) Profile of hit counts along the latest version of the sex chromosome [21] for DNA extracted from females. One bar corresponds to 0.5 Mb. Arrows indicate the two pseudoautosomal blocks within the region where recombination is repressed.
