Applying Small-Scale DNA Signatures as an Aid in Assembling Soybean Chromosome Sequences

Figure 4

The plots in (a) and (b) show the binding energy of 50 kb segments of two assemblies of chromosome 2. The vertical lines again correspond to scaffold boundaries. The darkened scaffold in (a) showed discontinuities in the connection to scaffolds at both ends. In (b) the orientation of that scaffold has been reversed, resulting in a less disrupted binding energy plot. (Other scaffold-order changes outside of the shaded areas were made on the basis of other information, including marker and synteny analyses).
