(The Arabidopsis Genome Initiative 2000)
• Explanations of amplifications and ancestral duplications:
Independent amplification of individual genes by unequal crossing over (predominant mechanism involved)
Tandem and dispersed gene families
Ancestral duplication of the entire genome and subsequent rearrangements
Segmental duplications

(Zemach et al., 2013)
-Heterochromatin regions surrounding the centromere. In there we can found retroelements, transposons, microsatellites and middle-repetitive sequences.
- Two rDNA loci at the northern ends of chromosomes 2 and 4 - It also has shown that intersticial heterochromatin regions (or knobs)
