Fig. 2From: The whole genome sequence of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), reveals insights into the biology and adaptive evolution of a highly invasive pest species C. capitata genome scaffold map based on scaffold linkage of annotated genes and microsatellite (Medflymic) sequences previously localized to map banding positions by in situ hybridization to autosomal polytene chromosomes (chromosomes 2 to 6). The larval salivary gland polytene chromosome map [193] presented includes left (L) and right (R) autosomal chromosome arms linked at a centromeric region (K). Arrows with adjacent scaffold numbers point to mapped loci positions of designated genes/microsatellites, with bracketed positions used for less precise mapping. See Additional file 2: Table S6 for sequence and scaffold accession numbers and sizes, in addition to map positions for sex-linked (chromosome 1; X and Y) genes/sequences mapped to undefined loci on mitotic non-polytenized chromosome spreads [20, 21]Back to article page
