Gene structure in catagen and telogen of SHF and PHF.
The number of exons of SHF in catagen and telogen respectively are 20617193 and 19999609, introns are 4822842 and 2832110, intergenic regions are 1309521 and 6618361. However, the number of exons of PHF in catagen and telogen respectively are 27541761 and 19455711, introns are 5950502 and 3337148, intergenic regions are 1387033 and 5853974. From the figure, we can find that in these four samples, the largest number is exon. But for intron and intergenic regions, there are some differences between catagen and telogen. In catagen, the number of intron is higher than intergenic regions, while in telogen is opposite.
