Cell88, 637–646.18 Reinhart BJ, Slack FJ, Basson M, Pasquinelli AE,Bettinger JC, ... the high frequency of LIRs in long genes. A total of 956LIRs (in 702 genes) were located in genic regions, and 1595 in intergenic regions. In other words, 37% of the LIRs were found within genes. ... of TG ⁄ CA dinucleotides and interspersed TA dinucleotides. We defined them asTG ⁄ CA-rich LIRs, accounting for 33% and 39% of all the LIRs in the intronic and intergenic regions,respectively...
