Figure 1.
Intertelomeric sequence comparisons were performed with MSPcrunch. Intersequence comparisons were regarded as significant for BLASTN scores >150. The similarity score (y-axis) was then calculated by dividing the number of matches between two arms by the product of the number of clones sequenced for each arm and then multiplied by 100. The high 19q–22q similarity score is attributed to the fact that there were four matches among sequences from these arms and relatively few clones sequenced (7 for 19q and 17 for 22q).
