The Release 6 chromosome arm sequences. Schematic representation of the Release 6 chromosome arm sequences (horizontal white bars). The boundary between euchromatin and pericentric heterochromatin on each arm (Riddle et al. 2011) is indicated (red vertical lines). Clone gaps between sequence scaffolds (vertical black lines) are labeled with their cytogenetic locations on the polytene chromosome map. (Below) Color-coding indicates the sequence release at which each BAC-based sequence was finalized: Release 3 (gray), Release 4 (green), Release 5 (purple), Release 6 (black). Sequences finished in WGS3-based scaffolds are indicated (blue).
