Genomic colocalization of transposable elements (TEs), odorant receptor genes, and other genes. (A) Percentage of OR genes and other genes within TE islands. (B) Density of TEs in OR loci and other gene-dense regions (genomic stretches with at least one OR gene [OR loci] or one non-OR gene [gene-dense regions] per 10 kbp) and within the genome as a whole. These data show that TE islands are depauperate in ORs, but OR loci are enriched for TEs relative to other gene-rich loci and the genome as a whole.
