Five types of alt-locus transcripts. Category A (red): Alt-locus transcripts on flanking regions that have nearly identical copies on the main path. Category B (blue): Alt-locus transcripts on the varying regions that have similar transcripts on the main path. Category C (green): Alt-locus transcripts that are partly on flanking regions, and have similar transcripts on the main path. Category D (orange): Alt-locus transcripts on the flanking regions that have copies somewhere else on the main path (not parallell to the alt locus). Category E (brown): Alt-locus transcripts on flanking regions that have copies on the main path that also extend outside the alternative locus
