Fig. 3: The contribution of gene conversion to V. longisporum genome evolution. Sequence identities between double-copy genes, present in V. longisporum VLB2 and VL20, are depicted. Gene pairs that encountered gene conversion (purple dots in the red zones) have sequence divergence of more than one percent in one V. longisporum strain and less than one percent in the other strain. In other cases, pairs that differ less than one percent are depicted as a black dot, whereas a difference higher than one percent is depicted as a blue dot.
