Perfectly syntenic genes between the two genomes would therefore represent a linear relationship between the two axes whereas alternative arrangements of the scattered dots may indicate that genome rearrangements have taken place in one of the genomes.
However, the high conservation in rDNA site number and chromosomal location, despite their apparent high dynamics of copy number among sites, may indicate conserved genome organization among strawberry species, at least for chromosomal segments involving rDNA sites.
The loss of so many genes involved in transport and metabolism of carbohydrates and amino acids in the BFo2 genome may indicate small-scale genome reduction as has been identified previously in a few insect symbionts such as Ishikawaella (Nikoh et al. (2011).
Therefore, the alteration in the percentage of the LINE-1 partially methylated loci may indicate early genome-wide hypomethylation in the multistep process of carcinogenesis.
Thus, our DNA array results may indicate that known genome sequences do not reflect the whole biodiversity of S. aureus, and consequently whole genome sequencing of divergent strains such as ST75-MRSA-IV or ST883-MRSA-IV would be helpful.
These sequences may be common in populations, and their absence in the reference genome may indicate rare variants in the genomes of individuals who served as donors for the human genome project.
As dnaA is also absent in an obligate insect endosymbiont [20] a pseudogenization of dnaA in NoAz may indicate a selective genome reduction related to a need of the host plant to restrain DNA replication and growth of the endosymbiont.
Thus, since AT rich genomes tended to be less biased, in terms of random walk like sequence patterns, than GC rich genomes, it may indicate that AT rich genomes are more concentrated, that is, dependencies between nucleotides are more short ranged, and therefore easier to approximate.
Alternatively, the differences may indicate that the genomes of the majority of OW bipartite begomoviruses result from component exchange.
