Expansion of Cen2 of B73 in the genetic background of oat. (A) The CENH3-binding domain (green box) of Cen2 in B73. The ChIP-seq read number (y-axis) was calculated in 10-kb windows per million reads. (B) The CENH3-binding domain (green box) of Cen2 in oat-maize chromosomal addition line OMA2.51. (C) The length (kb) of non-TE genes in 20-kb sliding windows (step = 10 kb). The red arrow points to a 58.2-kb transcribed gene located 23 kb away from the CENH3-binding domain. (D) Distribution of non-TE genes along maize chromosome 2. Details of gene distribution within the 88–98 Mb region are exemplified in C.
