Mapping and length distributions of redundant-TC/redundant-AG (r-TC/r-AG) motifs in the paired LINE-1s (L1s) of representative subfamilies. a Alignments of the distribution of r-TC/r-AG motifs dispersed in paired human full-length L1s of the same subfamily. Bold purple underlines indicate the range of the regions assessed for sequence identities and gaps between (A) and (B), shown at the right of each alignment. b r-TC/r-AG motif–length distributions in the paired L1s analyzed in (a). Maximum length (Max.) of the r-TC/r-AG motifs and Kolmogorov–Smirnov (KS) distance values are indicated in and at the bottom of each graph, respectively. See Additional file 7 for all other representative subfamilies of the three species. nt, nucleotides. c The start and end parts of the alignments of r-AG motif sequences in the paired L1PA5 and L1PA8 (see Additional file 9 for the whole alignments). Alternative colored motifs (pink and light blue color from top to bottom) indicate completely matched motifs between (A) and (B). Their proportions to the total number of r-AG motifs are indicated under the alignments
