Satellites from the Y chromosome are in italics.

a

Family names indicate monomer size in base pairs.

b

Composed of irregularly alternating short runs of 66- and 102-bp monomers, which differ by a 36-bp indel.

c

Composed of a 54-bp unit repeat, with short irregular runs of 64-bp units that differ by a 10-bp tandem duplication.
