Fig 2. Nearest gene schema and genomic location of repeat regions.

(A) Schema showing the nearest gene (orange) which is the gene with the shortest distance calculated from its TSS to the middle of the repeat region. (B) Distribution of distances to nearest genes for each repeat region grouped by number of consecutive motifs. The sum of percentages for each consecutive motif is 100%. (C) Comparisons of distance-to-nearest-gene for longer consecutive motifs to repeat regions with one to two consecutive motifs (i.e. ‘1–2’). * indicates the repeat regions are significantly closer to a gene than repeat regions with 1–2 consecutive motifs (p < 0.05). Red line represents the median distance-to-nearest gene for repeat regions with 1–2 consecutive motifs. (D) Feature distribution for each consecutive motif category. (E) Proportions of repeat regions in each chromosome grouped by the number of consecutive motifs.
