Figure 4.
Neighbor-joining tree of monomers from different chromosomes. Neighbor-joining methods were used to generate the phylogenetic tree containing higher-order and monomeric α-satellite from chromosomes 8 and 17 and the X chromosome. The key at the bottom of the figure indicates the chromosomal origin of the monomers from monomeric α-satellite (8p M, 17 M, and Xp M) and higher-order α-satellite (D8Z2, D17Z1, D17Z1-B, and DXZ1).
