Table 1.

Table 1A.

Enrichment of significant probes in all probes associated with young L1P lineages. Highlighted in bold are the primate L1P lineages that appear in post-baboon species. The 15,587 probes are the most significant probes characterized in the Supplementary Table S3. Enrichment is calculated based on all 339,314 probes in the microarray. Hypergeometric test score is recorded as well. The two highest enrichment values and two highest p-values are highlighted in bold.

Table 1B.

A continuation of the table from A. For selected families of L1PAs discussed in Table 1A we tried to address the issue whether the statistically significant members (Supplementary table S3) of L1 are more homologous to a promoter region of an active i.e. intact and relatively young, full length Line1 element.

A consensus promoter region was obtained from one of the L1HS characterized by L1Base as full lentgth and active. To generate this table, the alignment of the 700 bases long promoter region was performed against all members of each lineages and against subset of significant members of each of the lineages. Software BLAT and parameters designated to result in 80% homology (-minIdentity=80 -tileSize=10) were used. The count of alignments per lineage was recorded in the table. The “%” columns show the percentage of all elements in the group (either all repeats or subset of significant repeats only) for which a BLAT alignment was found. Note that the percentage does not reflect on sequence conservation, but is a mere statement that an alignment using BLAT and the specified parameters is possible for a fraction of sequences in a group. Subsequently, a hypergeometric test was used to provide statistical significance between the count of alignments in an entire group and only significant members of the group.
