De novo assembly of three differently sized Y Chromosomes (YS, YM, YL). (A) Male and female coverage tracks of Y Chromosome assemblies with Log2(female/male) coverage and repeat landscape shown beneath. One tick mark corresponds to 5 Mb, and collapsed contigs were adjusted in the plots. Landscapes of the most abundant repeats are shown separately in Supplemental Figure S8, A through C. (B, top to bottom) Karyotypes of YS, YM, and YL males with the arrowhead denoting the Y and the arrow denoting the X.
