MtDNA pseudogenes on chromosome 2 of the public draft of the human genome. The schematic shows the arrangement of mitochondrial pseudogenes on chromosome 2 of the human genome (public draft version from July 16, 2001). Pseudogenes (protein coding genes, rRNAs, and tRNAs) are represented as arrows, the length of which corresponds to the extent of alignment of a particular pseudogene with the mtDNA equivalent as shown on the top of the map. The representation is on scale. The arrows are shaded in four different colors depending on the degree of homology. As a measure for homology we used theBLASTN scores: >200 (red), 80–200 (blue), 50–79 (green), and <50 (gray). Isolated homologs with scores <50 are just listed as numbers. For ease of orientation, regions corresponding to genes that belong to the same subunit have the same background color, that is, rRNAs and Complex I, IV, and V. A map containing the complete chromosome set can be found in the supplementary information available at http://www.genome.org.
