Repetitive DNA content in the domain of escape. (A) Number of repetitive elements in the SMCX/Smcx gene region, the remainder of the human escape domain (between SMCX and HADH2, these two genes being excluded) and the equivalent mouse region, the whole X-chromosome, and the entire genome (see Table 2). Repeats are displayed as number normalized per megabase of DNA. (B) Sliding-window analysis of the distribution of repeats across the region of escape (shaded) and flanking inactivated regions.
