Properties of repetitive elements in the centromeres. A The repetitive element coverage of centromeric regions is significantly higher than the repetitive element coverage of non-centromeric regions for all the Pgt chromosomes. B Percent of bases that are covered by repetitive elements of a particular class. The centromeric regions vary considerably in the types of repeats they harbour, even between haplotypes. C The centromeres have a large proportion of young transposable element (TE) insertions compared to the non-centromeric regions
