Figure 1
Illustration of a simplified angiosperm mitochondrial genome. (a) Map configuration derived from chromosome walking. Two closed circles share sequence at the region shown by the arrow. (b) Dissolution of the figure 8-like map to create the master circle. The arrows indicate the duplicated sequences introduced into the master circle.
