Characterization of alpha satellite diversity in the dimer dataset. PCA projection of the normalized 5-mer frequency vectors are shown for (a) the left monomers and (b) the right monomers. Each point represents a sequence and has been colored according to its assignment to the C2 (pastel green), C3 (dark pink) or C4 (light pink) alpha satellite family based on hierarchical classification method. c Phylogenetic tree (Neighbor-joining method, K2P model, 100 bootstraps) for 250 randomly selected left monomers and 250 randomly selected right monomers. The color code matches the one described for (a) and (b). Bootstrap values for the branches leading to C3 and C4 are 87 and 55, respectively
