Figure 6.
Comparison of the distribution of younger and older L1 insertions in genomic DNA of different GC content. The GC content of 10 kb surrounding the insertion sites (5 kb of both the 5′ and 3′ flanks) of polymorphic L1Hs–Ta and GAG elements was calculated. Each insertion was assigned to different bins of GC content. For this analysis we analyzed 24 polymorphic insertions, and 57 GAG insertions; the available flanking sequences of one GAG and five polymorphic elements were too short to be included.
