Conserved noncoding elements follow power-law-like distributions in several genomes as a result of genome dynamics.

i , iia , iib , vi , viii ), inspection of both average extent of linearity for all chromosomes (avg E) and for the five chromosomes with the more extended linearity (avg E-5) reveals that the extent of the linear region in log-log scale of the original distribution follows an increasing trend (or is at least preserved) after masking of the CNEs positioned next to, or inside genes (for details see “Methods”).
