Figure S1: distribution of the pair numbers in 100 groups of 5,000 random sequences (bar). The pair number of 5,000 randomly selected human transcripts is indicated with an asterisk. Figure S2: kernel density distribution of natural AT and CG pairs (blue) and artificial AG and CT pairs (red) of mRNA. Figure S3: non-gap pair percentage of flanking sequences of short 22 bp pairs; (a) non-Alu pairs; (b) Alu pairs. Figure S4: mean SNP density difference between the pair region and the flanking region; (a) short pairs without repetitive element pairs and both expressed in at least one tissue; (b) short pairs with repetitive element pairs and both expressed in at least one tissue. Asterisks indicate a significant difference between the pair region and the flanking region, p < 0.01 (Wilcoxon sign-rank test).
