Low gene density and low GC content (arcs 3 and 7, respectively) mark the position of the centromeres (red arrows) and the rDNA repeat region (blue arrow). A vestigial centromere from a putative chromosomal fusion event is indicated on chromosome 3 (narrow red arrow). Repeat induced point mutations (RIP) were quantified using the TpA/ApT index over a 2-kb sliding window. Active RIP is indicated by the index exceeding 0.89.
