N. caninum apicoplast genome structure and annotation. (A) Schematic representation of the circularized apicoplast genome and annotation. The presence of an inverted repeat sequence is highlighted by a shaded area. %GC is shown in gray. GC skew is represented in variable colors. Open reading frames present within the 35-kb circular apicoplast genome are shown (for details, see Supplemental Table 5). (B) Read coverage count along the length of the 35-kb apicoplast genome is shown. (C) The presence of an inverted repeat sequence is graphically represented in a YASS plot. (D) Alignment of long-read sequences to the apicoplast genome. A few reads spanning the end regions, supporting its circular topology, are highlighted.
