Fig. 2

Evidence for virtually identical content of intact protein and rRNA genes in V. album and V. scurruloideum. Shown is a genome-wide BLAST comparison of angiosperm mitochondrial rRNA- and protein-coding sequences. Rings show high-scoring segment pairs (HSPs) yielded by BLASTn searches of the corresponding query mitochondrial genome against Liriodendron rRNA- and protein-coding sequences (total length = 41,475 bp) with the following parameter settings: evalue = 0.1, word_size = 7, reward = 5, penalty = −4, gapopen = 8 gapextend = 6, and perc_identity = 20. The outer ring (of thin black segments) displays the Liriodendron sequences shown to scale. Inner rings correspond to completely sequenced angiosperm mitochondrial genomes of magnolids (brown), monocots (green), rosids (pink), Santalales (orange), and superasterids excluding Santalales (blue). For the Amborella ring, only HSPs involving native Amborella genes are shown. This figure was produced using BRIG [43]
