Mapping multicopy arrays onto disomic and supernumerary chromosomes across the Leishmania species. The outer circle shows the chromosomes colored as either disomic (black) or supernumerary (gray), as calculated using the average read depth across the genes on the chromosome. The inner circle is scaled by the number of multicopy arrays present per megabase on that chromosome. (L. braziliensis is triploid so the normal state for its chromosomes is trisomic.)
