Unusual sequence characteristics of human chromosome 19 are conserved across 11 nonhuman primates

Abstract Background Human chromosome 19 has many unique characteristics including gene density more than double the genome-wide average and 20 large tandemly clustered gene families. It also has the highest GC content of any chromosome, especially outside gene clusters. The high GC content and conco...
