Sequence divergence between orthologous sequences within AZFa-HERVs. (a) Comparison of sequence divergence at three different sequence classes: two at AZFa-HERV (non-hotspot (non-ID) and hotspot (ID1+ID2)) and one from elsewhere on the Y chromosome (SMCY). Pairwise comparisons of three hominoid species (Pt, Pan troglodytes; Hs, Homo sapiens; Gg, Gorilla gorilla) were made. AZFa-HERV sequence divergences represent averages over both proximal and distal copies. The ID1 and ID2 sequence divergences are averaged to give ID1+ID2, rather than the sequence concatenated. (b) Sequence divergences between individual pairs of orthologous sequences at ID1 and ID2.
