Organization of CEN180 clusters on A. thaliana chromosomes. (A) Representation of consecutive repeats identified on each chromosome. Repeats are colored by cluster, and any intervening sequences are omitted. Inset shows the strandedness of the same. (B) FISH analysis with cluster 4–specific and cluster 6–specific probes. Cluster 4 localized to all chromosomes together with CEN180 repeats. In contrast, the cluster 6–specific probe marks the centromeres of two chromosomes only.
