From: Comparative sequence analyses reveal sites of ancestral chromosomal fusions in the Indian muntjac genome

Figure 2

Self-self comparative sequence analysis of an Indian muntjac chromosome fusion site. A 60 kb sequence within IMFS1 was compared to itself using PipMaker [63]. (a) Pip plot reveals the putative chromosome fusion site, which consists of a stretch of telomeric repeats (TTAGGG)n (blue), and then a large segment of centromeric satellite I (green); note that the latter has extensive amounts of self-self aligning sequences (reflecting satellite I monomers with high sequence identity). Also highlighted are additional features of interest: satellite IV (yellow) and a short stretch of (TTCGGG)n (purple). (b) Dot plot of the same 60 kb region shown in (a). Expanded view reveals the periodic nature of the satellite I monomers.
