Chromosomal localization of sSat3 (blue), Squam3 SINE (green), and putative centromeric satellite PFL-MspI (purple) in the largest chromosome assembly (CM044354.1, 370 Mbp) of the Lataste’s viper Vipera latastei. Size fractions corresponding to 1–5 and ≥ 6 tandems for sSat3 as well as 1 and 2–3 Squam3 tandem repeats are shown below in lighter shades. The lower panel is the putative pericentromeric area (10 Mbp, 185,000,001-195,000,000) containing PFL-MspI and Squam3 but no sSat3
