Figure 7
Example of a multiplicon with a multiplication level of 8 in the genome of Arabidopsis. Each colored triangle on a segment represents a gene. The different segments in this multiplicon are indicated with the locus numbers of their first and last gene. The segments are displayed in the chronological order in which they were added to the multiplicon. See the Discussion section for more details. The lines connect pairs of homologous genes; the homology relations with segment 8 are indicated with thick lines.
