Figure 1
Duplicated fraction in the rat genome. The figure depicts the proportion of the genome that shows duplication (A) when all genomic sequence was compared, and (B) for the rat genome excluding random, unassigned sequence contigs. Various lengths and % identity thresholds are shown. A very small portion of the rat genome shows segmental duplications with ≥99.5% sequence identity. This suggests that the majority of segmental duplications are bona fide and are not the result of missed allelic overlaps during genome assembly.
