Cumulative distributions of simple sequences repeats (SSRs) in the sex determining chromosome regions. SSRs with a length greater than 12 nucleotides, motif lengths of 2 to 6 bp, and a minimum of 5 repeats, were detected from the HSY and the corresponding X sequences. Number of total SSRs identified from each 0.5 Mb was plotted at the corresponding positions on the HSY and the corresponding X.
