Fig. 2: Structures of sex chromosomes in marmosets and humans.
From: Evolutionary and biomedical insights from a marmoset diploid genome assembly
a, Alignment between the marmoset X and Y chromosome reveals a PAR of around 1 Mb in each chromosome. Dashed lines show the boundaries between the PAR and SDR. Alignment between the human and marmoset X chromosome also reveals different PABs between the two species, and an inversion near the marmoset PAB. Grey, PAR genes; orange, MSSDR genes; red, ancestral SDR genes. ARSE is also known as ARSL. b, Distribution of ampliconic genes in the marmoset (yellow) and human (purple) X chromosome. Green, genes that are ampliconic in both species. The copy number for each ampliconic gene is shown in parentheses. Asterisks indicate partial genes. Ampliconic genes with testis-specific expression are shown as the bottom half of the panel for each species. IDS2 is also known as IDSP1.
