—Distribution of tandem repeats in the nine-spined stickleback assembly. (a) The x axis represents period size of the tandem repeat units and the y axis represents array size (period size × number of repeats). The points are colored based on GC content. (b). Alignment of the nine-spined stickleback putative centromeric repeat to the centromeric repeat sequence in the three-spined stickleback [GacCEN, accession KT321856 {Cech and Peichel 2015}; identity 61.2%]. Identical bases are represented in blue. The CENP-B box in three-spined stickleback is marked with a dashed rectangle.
