Repeat Properties of Rat Genome, Duplications, and Flanking Regions

The repeat contents of four regions of the rat genome were compared: duplicated regions as detected by whole-genome analysis comparison; duplicated blocks where pairwise alignments within 100 kb were merged; 20-kb flanking regions immediately flanking the clustered duplications and the genome average. Enrichment was defined as the repeat content of duplicated sequence divided by the repeat content of unique sequence.
