  1. Seeding regions of the studied ENCs, defined by a splitting BAC (in bold) or by overlapping BACs mapping in opposite sides of the centromere (p arm/q arm). In the latter case the overlapping portion of the two BACs was assumed as the seeding point. In MMU17 (human 13), several contiguous human BACs gave split signals. The table lists the most external ones (in italics). The human genome was used as a reference genome for non-human primate ENCs. The macaque genome was used as a reference for the three human ENCs (see text).
