In human and chimpanzee genomes this has a peculiar consequence, because these genomes contain millions of Alu-sequences, which seem to be located upstream of poly(A) sequences (see e.g. [16] and Fig. 4c).
To ensure that this result did not arise as a peculiar consequence of our length-based selection of genes, we evaluated these correlations with an additional, nonoverlapping subset of OrthoMaM DNA sequences with a lower mean number of sites (~1000 bp).
Moreover, the knotty logic behind the Supreme Court's ruling has had some peculiar unintended consequences, including the fostering of a rather perverse "equal-opportunity harasser" defense.
