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.
