Distribution of non-transposable element-related genes in rice and Arabidopsis. In panel A, the 12 rice chromosomes are shown with paralogous gene family members plotted in blue while single copy genes are plotted in red. Segmental duplicated blocks are indicated in green and centromeres are denoted by a white box. In panel B, the five Arabidopsis chromosomes are shown with paralogous gene family members plotted in blue while single copy genes are plotted in red.
