Location of 172 human gene duplicates relative to the centromere. The relative location of gene duplicates along chromosomal arms deviates significantly from an expected distribution based on protein-coding gene enrichment. Each chromosome was subdivided into 10 Mb bins representing increasing distance from the centromere. The proportions of gene duplicates and protein-coding genes (N = 20,172) within each bin are represented by black and white bars, respectively. The distribution of gene duplicates along the chromosomes deviates significantly from a random expectation (G = 54.9, p = 8.96 × 10−7)
