Synteny map of the contigs of A. niger ATCC 1015 to the supercontigs of A. niger CBS 513.88. The coloring of the chromosomes shows syntenic regions in A. niger CBS 513.88. Arabic numerals show the number of the supercontig in A. niger CBS 513.88. Gray areas show regions not found in the CBS 513.88 genome sequence (Pel et al. 2007). (Filled black circles) Proposed locations of centromeric regions. Sequenced telomeres are marked with a T. Zeroes mark the first base of the contigs. A black line underneath a section of the chromosomes denotes inverted sequence. Black histograms show SNPs per kilobase (number of single nucleotide polymorphisms/kilobase) between the sequences of the two strains (y-axis: 0–160 SNPs/kb). Gaps between contigs and centromeres are not to scale. The alignment demonstrates almost complete synteny between the two strains, with the exception of a cross-over event between the left arms of chromosomes III and VII. An overview of the genes found in the gaps unique to ATCC 1015 can be found in Supplemental Table 2.
