Fig. 2. Density of pericentromeric and subtelomeric repeats in Xenopus tropicalis.

Fig. 2

Pericentromeric (red) and subtelomeric (purple) regions were used to obtain enriched repeats, excluding chromosomes with short p-arms (chromosomes 3, 8, and 10). Pericentromeric repeats (yellow) correspond to selected subsets of non-LTR retrotransposons (CR1, L1, and Penelope), LTR retrotransposons (Ty3), and DNA transposons (PiggyBac and Harbinger). Subtelomere-enriched repeats (blue) correspond mainly to satellite repeats and LTR retrotransposons (Ty3, Ngaro). Densities of each repeat type plotted as kb/Mb. Chromosomes are centered by the position of centromeric tandem repeats (black dots). Rates of recombination (Rec. rate) in cM/Mb are shown as solid black lines. Tick marks indicate 10 Mb blocks (Supplementary Fig. 5). kb kilobases, Mb megabases, cM centiMorgans. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
