Properties of genomic alignments. (A) We divided the aligned and unaligned regions of the genome into four categories according to their participation in collinear regions. Collinear regions are defined as an uninterrupted succession of alignments that are on the same chromosome strand and in the same order in both genomes. (B) Proportion of the four categories in different alignment pairs, grouped by evolutionary distance. (C) Enrichment of genomic features at the boundary between breakpoint or bridge regions and aligned regions in the Okinawa–Osaka comparison (for other pairs, see Supplemental Fig. S7). (CNE) Conserved noncoding elements.
