Figure 4

A shifted element. This figure illustrates a case of large shift of an element aligned to human SNORD113 (C/D box small nucleolar RNA SNORD113/SNORD114, RF00181) on chromosome 14. A single RNA in elephant (loxAfr1.scaffold 44287) is divided into halves by the alignment, shown here as the very long red rectangle, with the left half aligned to the beginning of the second of the four human RF00181 elements shown, and the right half to the right end of the third human instance. In the MULTIZ alignment, this appears as though it were a 1556 bp deletion in elephant, spanning from the middle of the second human instance to the middle of the third.
