Cassandra Elphinstone

Human Y chromosome heat map showing the relative abundance (colours) of each repeat length (y axis) at each chromosome position (x-axis). Transitions in repeat structure match known positions in the chromosome for pseudo autosomal region (PAR), euchromatin, heterochromatin and the centromere.
