Figure 6. Genes adjacent to rodent enhancer-like ERVKs are less conserved across species.

Figure 6.

(a) Heatmap of sequence identity percentages for 381 mouse ERV-adjacent genes across 6 other species. Mouse-specific genes were significantly enriched in enhancer-like ERV-adjacent genes in comparison to a randomly picked background set of genes (see Methods): **P < 0.01, Fisher’s exact test. (b) Phylogenetic tree and heatmap depict the abundance of selected enhancer-like ERVK types across 7 species. Data for panels in a, b are available as source data.
