Conservation of X-Chromosome palindromes across primates. (A) Conservation status of 26 human palindromes in chimpanzee and rhesus macaque. (B) Triangular dot plots for a palindrome (P26) conserved between human, chimpanzee, and rhesus macaque. Images are to scale. (C) Arm-to-arm divergence within species (above blue arrows) versus between species (left of blue arrows). Values are the average percent divergence across 12 palindromes shared by human, chimpanzee, and macaque. Divergence times estimated using TimeTree (Kumar et al. 2017).
