Fig. 3

MSI tumors have more genes with repeat instability. Box plots of the number of promoters with instability of a) any repeat, b) mononucleotide repeats and the number of exons with instability of c) any repeat, d) mononucleotide repeats in MSI tumors (left boxes, n = 4) and in microsatellite stable genome pairs (right boxes, n = 31). Thick horizontal lines in each box mark the median, edges of boxes correspond to the 25th and 75th percentiles, and whiskers cover 99.3 % of the data’s range. The repeat incidences in each pair of boxes are significantly different from each other within each panel except for the panel a (WRS Test, P = 0.029, P = 0.003, P = 10−4, in panels b, c and d, respectively, after Bonferroni correction)
