Figure 7.
Schematic representation of the variation of satellite repeats in the pericentromeric and short arm regions of human acrocentric chromosomes. Three different representative polymorphic alleles are shown. The unit of the repeat is shown as an arrowhead; the color of each repeat represents the different groups of sequence variation: Gray boxes represent nonsatellite sequences; brown flags depict inserted transposable elements. The figure is inspired by Miga (2015).
