Fig. 1

Structure and gene expression of the ~207 kb genomic region containing the Nix gene. Nix is shown as two black boxes representing the exons, joined by a black line representing the intron. The top track of a shows the alignment of the sequence to the corresponding region of the reverse complement of the AaegL5 reference genome assembly, with colours representing percentage similarity (red: 100%; orange: > 90%; green: > 80%). Colours on the central track of a represent the classes of repetitive elements (orange: DNA transposons; cyan: Gypsy LTRs; green: Ty1/Copia LTRs). Blue histograms represent the coverage of RNA-Seq reads from male samples on the y axis; red histograms represent the coverage from female samples. b and c show enlargements of the first and second exons of Nix in the dotted regions in a, respectively
