Length of the three types of intergenic region (IGR) length in the genomes of T. parva, T. annulata, T. orientalis, and T. equi. IGR length, shown in base pairs, correlates with the directionality of the transcriptional units that flank them. Boxplot shows median (orange line), second and third quartiles (within box) and max value below 75 % + 1.5 interquartile range and minimum value above 25 % - 1.5 interquartile range (whiskers). Comparisons of intergenic region types within each species were significantly different than each other (0.001 < p < 0.005, two-tailed Student’s t-test)
