Figure 2

Micro-synteny between the zebra finch and ground tit genomes. The X-axis represents the zebra finch (T. gut) chromosomes and the Y-axis represents the ground tit (P. hum) scaffolds. The 'dots' represent ortholog gene pairs between the two genomes. The scaled-up regions of the dot plot show two obvious chromosome inversions. In the right most up-scaled figure, one part of the scaffold54 sequence of P. hum is aligned in the forward orientation (colored in orange) to that of Chr4 of T. gut, while the other part of the scaffold54 sequence were aligned in the reverse orientation (colored in blue sky) to that of Chr4 of T. gut, indicating that there was a chromosome inversions in P. hum compared with T. gut. A similar inversion is shown on the left.
