Comparison of the NCMD assembly with assemblies of other pig breeds. a Syntenic relationships of Nanchukmacdon chromosomes containing breakpoint regions against the Duroc (Sscrofa11.1) and Meishan (MSCAAS v1) chromosomes. The syntenic relationships were visualized using mySyntenyPortal (http://bioinfo.konkuk.ac.kr/mySyntenyPortal_RDA/publish/Nanchukmacdon_2Breed). b, c Examples of breakpoint regions in the Nanchukmacdon genome against Meishan (b) and Duroc (c) genome with Hi-C heatmaps in the regions. Colored regions in each assembly represent the regions corresponding to the breakpoint regions in the assembly. Green triangles pinpoint irregular Hi-C contact frequencies near breakpoint regions. d Paralogous genes flanking in the breakpoint regions between the Nanchukmacdon and Duroc genome. Green and red boxes respectively represent the genes in forward and reverse strand in each genome, respectively
