A first approximation: Mapping the typical eukaryotic animal cell onto the human genome, on the central-peripheral axis. Five cell organelles of the ten examined are illustrated. For each organelle, two of the genes that express uniquely in that organelle are shown (derived from [5]). Each gene is then traced to its chromosome. Approximate chromosome sites in the sperm cell nucleus are indicated (based on Additional file 1: Table S2, in [1]). So, organelle → genes → chromosomes → nucleus locations
