Fig 5. (a): Percentage of repetitive elements found in the upstream and genic regions in (A) Solanum tuberosum and (B) Solanum lycopersicum. In comparison to genic regions, repeat super-families prefer to be inserted within the upstream regions harboring regulatory elements. (b): Percentage of repetitive elements found in the exonic and intronic regions in (A) Solanum tuberosum and (B) Solanum lycopersicum.

Distribution of repeat super-families did not show any preferential enrichment in exonic and intronic region in S. tuberosum, while in S. lycopersicum, different repeat super-families show differential enrichment in intronic and exonic region.
