Figure 4. Tandem repeat content (bp) in human chromosomes 8 and 7 and its homologous in chimpanzee, orangutan and macaque.

Figure 4

The image represents an example of a reorganized chromosome (a) and a collinear chromosome (b). In each case, the left panel shows the evolutionary history of each chromosome during hominoid evolution. The right panel shows the tandem repeat content in 100 kb windows in human (blue), chimpanzee (red), orangutan (green) and macaque (purple) genomes. Abbreviations –PPY: Pongo pygmaeus, PTR: Pan troglodytes, HSA: Homo sapiens.
