Plot showing the number of genes on each human chromosome

Description
Plot showing the number of genes on each human chromosome (blue), the average fraction of protein-coding bases that align to Roche 454 reads from James D. Watson’s genome (green), and the fraction of coding bases that align to one or more mammoth reads (orange), using predicted elephant genes that map to the human chromosome based on sequence similarity— approximately 50 percent for each autosome, but only 31 percent for the X chromosome because the mammoth used for this study was male.
