From: Sequencing, identification and mapping of primed L1 elements (SIMPLE) reveals significant variation in full length L1 elements between individuals

Further SIMPLE validation. (A) Frequency distribution showing the number of novel (ie, previously undescribed) non-reference SIMPLE-detected full length L1 elements (Y-axis) versus the number of individuals in which they were detected (X-axis). A majority (42/68, 62%) of novel non-reference full length L1 elements were detected in only one individual, however 26/68 (38%) were detected in at least two individuals and 7/68 (10%) were detected in three or more individuals. (B) Graph showing the number of novel non-reference full length L1 elements found in each individual. Numbers ranged from three novel non-reference elements in individual seven to 28 in individual three. The average number of novel non-reference full length L1 elements per individual was ten.
