Fig. 4. Germline deletions of <1000 bp in the Thousand Genomes Project have properties similar to microDNAs.

Fig. 4

a. Length distribution peaks at 100 bp and 350 bp. b. Deletions in genic areas are enriched in 5'UTRs, exons, CpG islands and regions 200bp upstream from genes. c. GC content of deletion and up-stream and down-stream regions is greater than genomic average. The up-stream and down-stream sequence was of same length as the deletions. d. 70% of the microdeletions had flanking direct repeats. Length distribution of the direct repeats is shown. Direct repeats ≥15 bp are shown at 15 bp.
