The position of maximal curvature value (MaxCV) and centromeric physical position (CPP) in rice (Osa) and Arabidopsis (Ath) chromosomes are shown together with the difference between these two positions. Chromosomes with exceptional features are in bold. Note that these numbers are the center of a physical range between 200,000-500,000 bp.
