1 This example contains two region datasets "ETn fixed", "Control" and one feature "Recombination hotspots content".
2 In particular, the region dataset "ETn fixed" contains 1296 genomic regions of 64 kb surrounding
3 fixed ETns elements (32-kb flanking sequences upstream and 32-kb flanking sequences downstream
4 of each element). The region dataset "Control" contains 1142 regions of 64 kb without elements,
5 used as control in the test. The regions are aligned around their center (i.e. around the ETn integration
6 sites).
7 Recombination hotspots measurements are associated to each "ETn fixed" and "Control" region. In
8 particular, this feature is measured in 1-kb windows, so that each region is associated to a recombination
9 hotspots curve made of 64 values. The measurement used is the feature content, i.e. the
10 fraction of the 1-kb window that is covered by recombination hotspots
