Figure 1.
Cot curves for a tetraodontid (smooth) puffer, Fugu rubripes, and a diodontid (spiny) puffer, Diodon hystrix. Filled circles indicate F. rubripes data points, and open circles representD. hystrix data points. Open arrows mark the Cot1/2values of the D. hystrix repetitive (left) and single-copy (right) classes, at which half of those components are estimated to have renatured. The filled arrow indicates the Cot1/2 value of the single-copy component of the F. rubripes genome. The Cot1/2 value of the F. rubripes repetitive component is estimated to be −3.3, and does not appear on this graph.
