Figure 3

Length of variable ITRs compared to all ITRs in SDs and in the human genome. Compared are (a) the total length of the repeats, (b) the length of the repeat unit, and (c) the number of repeat units between the variable ITRs that modify the gene structure (grey) and all other exonic and non-exonic ITRs in SDs (pink) and in the rest of the human genome (light-blue). ITR modifications occur preferentially through the repetition of minisatellites and are depleted in short repeats.
