Figure 3.

Frequency distribution of rare chromosomal inversion breakpoints of Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto. Frequency distribution of RCIs breakpoints in intervals along the chromosome complement (20 for chromosome arm 2R, 15 for 2L, 14 for 3R, 12 for 3L, and 5 for X-chromosome) of An. gambiae. The corresponding chromosome arms (indicated beneath the plot as a horizontal line) are presented with telomeres at left and centromeres at right. Numbers above the bars indicate the number of breakpoints that must be added to account for the common inversions.
