Figure 3. Major patterns of CNVs in relation to LCRs (arrows with same texture indicates paralogous LCRs).

Figure 3

(A) CNVs involving whole regions between DP-LCRs. (B) Scattered CNVs (CNVs covering <40% of the distance between LCRs) between DP-LCRs. (C) CNVs involving whole regions between non-paralogous LCRs. (D) Scattered CNVs between non-paralogous LCRs. (E) Complex patterns of CNVs extending over various LCR groups and intervening regions. (F) CNVs overlapping LCRs. (G–H) Contingency tables summarizing the counts of CNVs observed between LCRs, corresponding to A, B, C and D. The CNVs between paralogous LCRs tend to involve the whole region (as illustrated in A, corresponding to counts in top left cells in G and H), a signature of NAHR involving paralogous LCRs.
