Extended Data Fig. 2: Variations of TE distribution and chromocenter formation in plants.

From: Evolutional heterochromatin condensation delineates chromocenter formation and retrotransposon silencing in plants

Extended Data Fig. 2

a,b, The distribution of TEs in plant species with (a) and without (b) chromocenters. The green lines indicated the positions of TEs in the presented chromosomes. Blue-lined boxes showed the heterochromatin regions that concentrate the heterochromatic elements in chromocenter-containing species. c, Gini coefficient is calculated by the numbers of TEs in 100kb-windows to represent the differences in distributions of TEs across the chromosome. The species with and without chromocenters are separated by a black dotted line. Error bars denote standard deviation (SD) of chromosomes.
