Figure 2.
Human centromere 8. (Top) Human centromere 8 shows successive evolutionary layers (1–5), with the oldest monomer layer on the edges of the array and the youngest, most uniform HOR in the middle (Logsdon et al. 2021). (Bottom) Similar structures are seen in great apes, whereas rhesus macaque centromere 8 consists entirely of dimers most closely related to the old monomers.
