Figure 3From: Genome mapping and characterization of the Anopheles gambiae heterochromatinSchematic representation of the heterochromatin amount in the An. gambiae genome. (a) Relative proportions of mapped chromatin types and unmapped sequences in the assembly. PH--pericentric heterochromatin, IHc--compact intercalary heterochromatin, IHd--diffuse intercalary heterochromatin, PEU--proximal euchromatin, EU--euchromatin, UNK--"unknown chromosome." (b) Comparison of sizes and positions of islands of genomic divergence (IGD) and regions of pericentric heterochromatin (HET) in the X chromosome, the 2L arm, and 3L arm. Position of a putative centromere corresponds to 0 bp.Back to article page
