Examples of duplicated genes in Nile rat. a An expansion of the Acnat2 gene in Nile rat relative to house mouse. Lines are drawn using miropeats [66], with spurious matches outside of gene bodies removed. Colors are used to emphasize gene paralogs. b A dot-plot of the Acnat2 locus in Nile rat, with gene copies indicated by the blue rectangles. c Read-depth over Slfn3 in the Nile rat paternal assembly. The average read depth is shown in green, indicating up to four missing copies. The gene is mapped using RefSeq GRCm38 annotations, with support from PacBio Iso-Seq reads. The gene is associated with immune response, a category of genes that often have large copy-number diversity
