Distribution of repetitive elements on the C. elegans chromosomes. The figure shows the distributions of Cele14 (A), Cele2 (B), Cele1 (C), and Cele42 (D) MITE-like repeats. The number of elements on each chromosome is shown on the right. Repetitive-element positions were identified by using a consensus sequence, chromosome lengths were normalized, and maps of chromosomes II, III, and X were inverted with respect to chromosomes I, IV, and V.
