Fine structure of BACs homologous to A. thaliana peri-CEN3. Scale drawing showing annotated features >100 bp (BLASTN score > 60 bits; e-values < 1e – 8); (red boxes) predicted genes shared among Brassicaceae species (1–15, Table 1); (gray bars) major stretches of sequence similarity (BLASTN score > 100 bits); (arrows) predicted direction of transcription; (blue boxes) sequence similarity to A. thaliana transposons; (green boxes) sequence similarity to A. thaliana retroelements; (orange boxes) gene fragments; (yellow boxes) centromere satellites; (turquoise boxes) 5S rDNA. For BAC Op44L14, gene 3 has been duplicated and gene CI is similar to an A. thaliana chromosome I gene. Annotations for genes within the corresponding A. thaliana peri-CEN3 region are listed in Supplemental Table 1, and a complete view of all feature annotations within this A. thaliana region can be viewed in the GenBank genome browser (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mapview/map_search.cgi?taxid=3702) between coordinates 14,096,340 and 14,967,565.
