Schematic representation of satellite III, rDNA, and caps and subtelomeric (Ventura et al. 2012) repeat distribution in the MMU rDNA-bearing chromosome (MMU10) as well as in all the great apes acrocentric chromosomes. The genomic rearrangements that chromosome IIp and IIq underwent are reported above branches: (a) pericentric inversion that involved the chromosome IIq, (b) pericentric inversion that involved the chromosome IIp, and (c) fusion event that involved chromosome IIp and IIq. A description of the reciprocal distribution of the investigated repeat elements is reported on the right side. Black bars are centromeres and black arrows indicate other inversion events involving other chromosomes.
