This feature increases the possibility that larger introns contain more repeat elements than smaller introns, and thus, larger introns could facilitate the circularization of adjacent exons.
D7S-1 has more repeat elements than HK1651 or D11S-1.
Of these three insect species, the butterfly genome contains 3 5-fold more repeat elements (10.01% all repeats), especially low complexity repeats, than the two moth genomes.
Our repeat element analysis showed that the sequenced D. holocanthus genome contains more repeat elements, especially the interspersed elements, than do the smooth pufferfish genomes, which is consistent with the DNA renaturation analysis in previous study [ 27].
In the alligator and the turtle, the repeat element content is relatively high compared to birds [ 40], thus we expected that alligator and turtle BESs would contain more repeat elements than the emu sequences.
The porcine genome consists of more than 40percentt of highly repeated elements and most of these repeated elements are long/short interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs/SINEs), long terminal repeats retro-transposons (LTRs) and satellites [ 25].
Before building the WGP physical map, we analyzed the distribution of WGP tags along the BACs and investigated whether there is a relationship between the tag distribution and the repeated elements that represent more than 80% of the wheat genome [ 6].
The size of the repeated elements range from 10 bases to more than 2000 bases, and their number, depending on the type of the repeated element, may reach more than 200 copies.
When more than 20% of the contig length resulted from repeated elements, contigs were discarded.
For Tel VIIL, the bar and ad-3A markers were inserted within the coding region of an expressed gene, NCU09306.3, which is directly flanked by an unnamed RIP-mutated repeated element found at more than ten other chromosomal positions (none of which is within 100 kb of a known telomere) and a CenVII-like RIP-mutated region, which directly flanks the (TTAGGG n telomere repeats.
There is a repeated element in Lawrence of homoerotic voyeurism -- he spends more time extolling the physical beauty of men than describing female attractiveness.
