—Consensus sequences of the alpha satellite families identified in the CPO XmnI data set. The consensus sequences were determined following the alignment of 500 randomly selected sequences for the C1, C2, C5, and C6 families. Each position was considered unambiguous if more than 60% of monomers had the same nucleotide at this position. A point at a position replaces a nucleotide identical to the nucleotide at the homologous position in the C1 consensus.
