Hybridisation probes are represented by horizontal lines, clones by vertical lines. A positive hybridisation signal is represented by a black spot at the cross section. The entire data set is presented, including all false positive or negative results. Clone contigs are numbered and gaps are indicated. Scattered lines indicate positions where a contig was thought to be continuous from hybridisation data while a small gap was identified by sequencing. On the right, the cosmids representing the megaplasmid are shown. R1 and R2 mark large repeat regions. At the bottom, the results obtained from hybridising genomic restriction fragments are shown; they were not taken into account for the actual clone ordering process and, thus, served as an independent control for co-linearity of the cosmid order.

Comparison of clone locations as determined by mapping and end-sequencing information. Minor disturbances are mainly caused by the difference in resolution of mapping and sequencing. The few major inconsistencies were based on inaccurate mapping because of repeat sequences.
