Retroposed Copies of the HMG Genes: A Window to Genome Dynamics

Table 2.

Composition and Repeat Content of Sequence Surrounding HMG RPCs

Total (bp) % GC % Repeats % LINEs % SINEs % Alu
5′ flank 54,718 40 45 16 18 16
3′ flank 54,478 37 39 16 13 12
Genomic 41 45 21 13 11

  • A total of 250 bp of sequence upstream or downstream of RPCs was analyzed for repeats and GC content. Genomic parameters were taken fromLander et al (2001). The % repeats and GC content are from RepeatMasker output.
