Phylogenetic analysis of CentO satellite monomers across the 12 rice centromeres. The monomers from each centromeric region of rice were randomly chosen. The vertical bars mark groups of monomers from the same chromosomes. The numbers adjacent to individual branches or vertical bars indicate the chromosomes from which the monomers were chosen. The numbers adjacent to nodes indicate bootstrap values >60% from the test of 500 replicates.
