Expression of protein-coding genes near to TEs. a Rank correlation coefficient across pairs of TEs and protein-coding genes within 2 kb. b comparison between the number of statistically significant pairs observed in the analysis performed in a with the random expectation based on 100 samples replacing each protein-coding gene in the TE-protein-coding gene pair with a random gene more than 2 kb away from the TE. c Example of a protein-coding gene (fbxa-192) close to a TE, which exhibited increased expression in N.1 lines along with the TE. d Example of a protein-coding gene (T05H4.9), which exhibited decreased expression in N.1 lines contrasting to the nearby TE
