Schematic illustration of the indel-matching statistical test used to identify potential RMSs. The test is applied to one TE subfamily at a time. For each true indel (black lines), 500 flanking pseudo-indels of the same size as the true indel are simulated. For ease of illustration, true indels are all shown to be of the same size and only 10 pseudo-indels are shown (grey lines). Hypothetical locations of human-specific L1Hs instances in the reference genome are shown as boxes. The contingency table (Fisher’s exact test) corresponding to this toy example is constructed by summing over all true indels in the genome, as shown on the right
