Figure 3. Length of Intergenic Regions and Introns + UTRs as a Function of the Proportion of Germline-Expressed Neighbors.

Figure 3

The figure represents the coefficients (±95% confidence intervals) of a log-gaussian GLM analysis of noncoding length of genes/length of intergenic regions as a function of the factors tissue of expression (germline versus soma), element (gene versus intergenic), and neighborhood (proportion of germline-expressed genes among the ten neighbors). The figure illustrates that the effect of the genomic neighborhood depends both on the identity of the genomic element (gene versus intergenic region) as well as the expression type, a fact reflected in the significant triple interaction term in the GLM (F = 4.19, p < 0.05).
