From: The transcriptional trajectories of pluripotency and differentiation comprise genes with antithetical architecture and repetitive-element content

Fig. 5

The genes of the stem cell-specific PluriNet network are shorter with organism-specific biases in repetitive densities. a Exon (top panel) and intron (bottom panel) length biases. The red curve shows the difference between the cumulative distribution of the PluriNet genes from the background distribution of all human protein-coding genes, plotted as in Fig. 1. Asterisks indicate a statistically significant difference (P value < 10−4; Kolmogorov-Smirnov test). b, c Heatmaps of enrichment and depletion scores of the repetitive density in the intronic regions of the PluriNet genes in human (b) and of the orthologous genes in mice (c)
