Figure 1.

Comparison between phylogeny and physical distribution of khipu repeats within the G19833 genome. Phylogenetic tree of the 2460 khipu repeats from the G19833 genome sequence. The eight major clades are indicated with bold letters (A–H). Each color corresponds to a chromosome arm subtelomeric region named by a number, corresponding to the chromosome number, followed by the letter L (long arm) or S (short arm). Note that centromeric khipu repeats (black) are found only in two small subclades highlighted by brackets. Clades comprising khipu repeats from previously sequenced BAC contigs from chromosome 11 long arm or chromosome 5 short arm are highlighted by black or red asterisks, respectively. Clades comprising khipu repeats used for FISH experiments are highlighted by FISH written in red.
