Figure 1.
An example for the notations defined in our study. The aligned sequences at chr1: 51 952 487–51 952 587 around an hek4me3 element in liver are shown. Of the total two SNPs (highlighted in black) around the selected element, both were found in the configured group I (red) and neither was found in the configured group II (blue). Group I is considered as variable at this element because there are three sequence variations associated with strains A/J, CAST/Ei, PWK/Ph and WSB/Ei. In contrast, group II is invariable because all the aligned sequences of the group are identical.
