(Left) Fractions of conserved elements overlapping exons and intergenic regions. (Right) Annotation of conserved elements at the base level. In this figure, the calculation of fractions is based on the predicted gene sequences in the reference genome, Ciona intestinalis. From the top row to the bottom row, the thresholds to define conserved elements and the number of identified conserved elements are as follows: (first row) length ≥100 bp, identity ≥70%, 1835 elements; (second row) length ≥100 bp, identity ≥80%, 899 elements; (third row) length ≥100 bp, identity ≥90%, 91 elements; (fourth row) length ≥200 bp, identity ≥70%, 1112 elements.
