Table 1. Characteristics of the inversions simulated in four sequence contexts.
Sequence context | Number of inversions | Inversion size (bp) | Repeat length (bp) | Repeat identity (%) | |||
Random | 424 | 61,756 | (46,449) | NA | NA | ||
Repeat-masked | 399 | 75,544 | (57,549) | 347 | (383) | 81.6 | (7.3) |
Alignable | 98 | 16,716 | (39,069) | 201 | (131) | 94.2 | (4.4) |
Segmental dup. | 29 | 102,469 | (65,558) | 19,962 | (29,027) | 89.2 | (15.0) |
Number and average size of inversions simulated in each type of sequence context, and average length and average percentage of identity between the two inverted copies flanking the breakpoints (repeat-masked and segmental duplications) or within their largest alignment blocks (alignable). The standard deviations are shown in parentheses.
