Figure 3.
Distribution of Cer full-length, fragmented and solo LTR element sequences in the C. elegans genome. A genomic coordinate value for all Cer elements was calculated (see Methods) and elements plotted to their respective chromosome location. Chromosomes were divided into three regions (left, center, right). All chromosomes except chromosome III display significant clustering outside of the centric genic region. Cer elements are randomly distributed across chromosomes.
