Epigenetic and evolutionary features of ape subterminal heterochromatin

2025-05-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Many African great ape chromosomes possess large subterminal heterochromatic caps at their telomeres that are conspicuously absent from the human lineage. Leveraging the complete sequences of great ape genomes, we characterize the organization of subterminal caps and reconstruct the evolutionary history of these regions in chimpanzees and gorillas. Detailed analyses of the pCht satellite composi...
