From: Sequencing refractory regions in bird genomes are hotspots for accelerated protein evolution
Avian and non-avian reptilian landscapes of protein encoding genes in the chicken genome order. The same data as in Fig. 1 are shown, but now the genes are ranked in the order of the chicken genome. For 214 genes, chicken chromosomal position is unknown (PU). a presence and length indices for birds indicate that most gene information (number of genes and sequence) is missing in the microchromosomes. b The GC content of Pseudopodoces humilis is the highest at the subtelomeres of the macrochromosomes and in the microchromosomes. Note that in the macrochromosomes the GC content in both species is more similar than in the microchromosomes. c and d GARP% and FYMINK% of the predicted proteins in Pseudopodoces humilis and Chrysemys picta
