Examples of newly identified CNEs upstream of AUTS2. UCSC genome browser screenshot shows a ∼1.5 Mb genomic region around AUTS2, a transcriptional regulator required for neurodevelopment. CNEs only detected in the RepeatFiller-subjected multiple alignment are marked as red tick marks. The zoom-in shows the 21-mammal alignment of one of the newly identified CNEs. While only the rhesus macaque sequence aligned to human before applying RepeatFiller, our tool identifies a well-aligning sequence for all 19 other mammals (red font). A dot represents a base that is identical to the human base. The RepeatMasker annotation (bottom) shows that this newly identified CNE overlaps a DNA transposon.
