Secondary bands (>600 bp) in the bar transgene gel are due to extended exposure time and difficulty in amplification. The bar amplicon (202 bp) is supported by both the size and correlation between the gel and the Southern blot with regards to positive and negative samples. 16 Sample Count 14 12 10 8 6 4 1 0.9 0.95 0.8 0.85 0.7 0.75 0.6 0.65 0.5 0.55 0.4 0.45 0.3 0.35 0.2 0.25 0.1 0.15 0 0 0.05 2 ACP Fraction of Genome Supplementary Figure 5: ACP fraction in F1BC1 offspring. The ACP fraction of each F1BC1 offspring genome was determined and samples were binned in intervals of 0.025 between 0 and 1. The mean ACP fraction per genome was 31.62% (± 6.35% (SD)). This is slightly above the expected value of 25%, likely due in part to segregation distortion due to selection against the BAR allele in the Alamo parent of the F1. A secondary factor may be some miscalled or misplaced markers due to the preliminary state of the genome assembly, which is supported by regions of miscalled ACP homozygosity that cannot exist in an F1BC1.
