From: Transposable elements generate regulatory novelty in a tissue-specific fashion
Genes with higher expression variance are more tolerant towards TE insertion. Human genes were split into four categories: 1) Genes associated with TEs that are only found in active regions across tissues; 2) Genes associated with TEs that are found in active or repressed regions in a tissue-specific fashion; 3) Genes associated with TEs that are only found in repressed regions; 4) Genes never associated with TE insertions. The violin plots display the distribution of the GTEx gene expression variance, normalized by mean expression, for each of the four categories
