Figure 2

Gene genealogies of 16 genes in the region of suppressed recombination of the mating-type ( mat ) chromosomes of Neurospora tetrasperma. The genes are visualized horizontally in a consecutive order according to gene order in Neurospora crassa, from left to right flank of the chromosomes. The position of the mat locus and the centromere are indicated. Alleles from mat chromosomes originating from wild-type heterokaryons are indicated by strain ID given in Table 1, and strains of the same phylogenetic species in the N. tetrasperma species complex are marked with the same color. Gene conversion events are boxed and indicated by yellow stars. Alleles of genes marked in bold italic were used as template for gene conversion.
