Statistical comparisons of the amounts of deviation from the consensus revealed a highly significant difference between the cleavage site preferences of NCLI loci versus a larger set of 282 recent TPRT-mediated L1 insertions ( 22 ) (unpaired t -test assuming unequal variances; P < 0.0001) ( 37 ), further bolstering our conclusion that breaks in the target DNA at NCLI loci were not products of L1-EN cleavage.
