Figure 3.
Phylogenetic tree of α-satellite on chromosome 17. Neighbor-joining methods were used to generate the phylogenetic tree containing both higher-order and monomeric α-satellite from chromosome 17. The tree contains 641 monomers, including the outgroup monomer from the African green monkey. The key at the bottom of the figure indicates the chromosomal origin of the monomers. Monomeric α-satellite 17pM1, 17pM2, 17pM3, 17qM4; higher-order α-satellite D17Z1 and D17Z1-B; and α-satellite from the African Green Monkey (AGM) are shown.
