Table 3.

Length of mRNA and LINEs in mice and rats

LINE mRNA

n Mean ± SD (kb) n Mean ± SD(kb) Pa
Rats 64 1.98 ± 1.52 16,241 2.32 ± 1.73 0.01
Mice 79 1.88 ± 1.37 16,241 3.15 ± 2.35 6 × 10-12

Length of LINEs in mice and rats were obtained from Repbase [78]. aMann-Whitney U test was used to calculate the values of P. kb: kilobase; LINE: long interspersed elements; SD: standard deviation.
