+[[!pmid 16868079 desc="Half of chromosome 2 and the whole of chromosome 19 differ from the rest of the genome by a lower GC content (52% instead of 59%) and a higher frequency of repeated regions (they contain 77% of the 417 repeat elements).  Chr2 has also a different codon usage and smaller introns.  The genes on chr19 tend to be less related the “green lineage” (photosynthetic cells that gave rise to plants)."]]
