DR 3 – 100 0 0.2483 0.2678 0.3446 0.2766
IR 7 – 30 0 – 7 1.0639 1.0381 1.2008 1.1944
H-DNA 6 – 50 0 – 7 1.2274 1.2704 1.4444 1.2288
G4-DNA 15 – 90 1 – 7 0.1234 0.1457 0.1576 0.1316
Z-DNA 10 – 120 0 0.1120 0.1162 0.1239 0.1221
Sum 2.7750 2.8382 3.2713 2.9535

DR, direct repeats; IR, inverted repeats; H-DNA, triplex-forming homopurine•homopyrimidine runs with mirror repeat symmetry; G4-DNA, G-quartet-forming sequences of ≥4 runs of GGG each separated by 1–7 bases, but excluding homoG•homoC runs; Z-DNA, alternating purine-pyrimidine motifs (pure or mixed A-C, G-C, G-T runs). Length, min and max lengths of repeats. For DR, length refers to the length of each unit, for IR and H-DNA it signifies the length of each of the two stems, for G4-DNA it indicates the total length of a tract including spacer sequences between the G runs, and for Z-DNA it includes the total number of bases. For DR, the minimum number of repeat units was set to 5. Spacer, number of bases separating two units. Contr1, 1-kb bins flanking 20 222 randomly generated genomic coordinates; Contr2, 1-kb bins flanking 19 935 genomic coordinates, each located 3000 bp upstream (lower genomic coordinate; N-containing bins were excluded) of their respective translocation breakpoints; Trans, 1-kb bins flanking 19 947 translocation breakpoints; Delet, 1-kb bins flanking 46 365 deletion breakpoints; n/kb, density of motifs in number per kb; Sum, sum of all densities.
