Lack of rearrangements at CEN1 and CEN5 in C. parapsilosis 90-137/Cse4-HA. The Circos plot compares the eight chromosomes of the reference strain C. parapsilosis CDC317 (gray; left) to the 16 largest minION scaffolds from the Canu assembly of C. parapsilosis 90-137/Cse4-HA (white; right). Centromeres are marked by black bands. Most chromosomes are collinear, including Chromosome 1 (assembled in two contigs in 90-137, contig 2 and contig 30) and Chromosome 5 (contig 20457). There is an apparent translocation between Chromosomes 3 and 4 (contig 5 and contig 20455) at a repetitive gene that is near (but not at) the centromere. This may represent an error in the reference assembly or represent a natural structural polymorphism. Some zeros have been removed from the contig (tig) names for clarity.
