Fragment Recruitment at Sites of Rearrangements
Environmental sequences recruited near breaks in synteny have characteristic patterns of recruitment metadata. Indeed, each of five basic rearrangements (i.e., insertion, deletion, translocation, inversion, and inverted translocation) produced a distinct pattern when examining the recruitment metadata. Here, example recruitment plots for each type of rearrangement have been artificially generated. The “good” and “no mate” categories have been suppressed. In each case, breaks in synteny are marked by the presence of stacks of “missing” mate reads. The presence or absence of other categories distinguishes each type of rearrangement from the others.
