Genome structures in social amoebae. Chromosomes are not drawn to scale. Telomere and centromere properties were deduced as described in Supplemental Material. Specific short sequence motifs are indicated as letters, identified common chromosomal regions as labeled areas. The polymorphism in the PP-specific sequence motif is indicated by the polymorphic nucleotides in brackets. Above this motif the number of observed repeat units is indicated.
