Figure 5.

Transposable element (TE) distance from genes versus histone modifications. Distances between Alu (a and b) and L1 (c and d) sequences and the nearest genes are binned in 10 kb bins and plotted against the number of active (a and c) or repressive (b and d) histone modification tags mapped to the TE sequences normalized by their lengths. Spearman rank correlations (ρ) are shown and significance values are in Additional file 1, Table S3.
