Applying Small-Scale DNA Signatures as an Aid in Assembling Soybean Chromosome Sequences
Figure 2
The plots in (a) and (b) show the dinucleotide difference of two assemblies of chromosome 6. The vertical lines correspond to scaffold boundaries. The dinucleotide signature of the darkened two scaffolds provided information about their orientation. Note the peaks at the edges of those two scaffolds. In (b) the orientation of both scaffolds has been reversed in order to unify the assumed centromere. (Other scaffold-order changes outside of the shaded areas were made on the basis of other information, including marker and synteny analyses).
