The departures from expected values for the coincidence of CNVRs with segmentally duplicated basepairs (A,B) and with Ensembl protein-coding genes (C,D), calculated for sets of Nijmegen CNVRs and Redon et al. aCGH CNVRs. Results are shown as percentage differences from values expected by random sampling of the human genome reference assembly (see Methods). (A,C) Nijmegen aCGH CNVRs; (B,D) Redon et al. aCGH CNVRs. CNVR sets are described in the legend to Figure 2. Bars annotated with an asterisk (*) are significant at P < 0.025.
