Figure 5

Sequence alignment of CER:D22Z3 and pCER:D22Z8 repeats. Sequences flanking K222 were analyzed. The new sequence repeat we called pCER:D22Z8 shows 71.8% similarity to CER:D22Z3. The repeat pCER:D22Z8 is a centromeric repeat (CER), which we have named pCER according to its likely position in the pericentromere (see the text). The organization of pCER:D22Z8 consists of eight repeats of 48 bp each. According to the chromosomal location of K222, pCER:D22Z8 is located in chromosome 22 and eight additional chromosomes.
