Bacterial tandem repeats are biased towards deletion, while eukaryotic repeats are unbiased or biased towards insertion. Organism identifications (species names) are shown on the first line, followed by the source reference in brackets. Repeat types (motif sequences) are shown on the second line below the species names, followed by the lengths of the repeats (number of motifs). Data sources are as follows: a) De Bolle et al. 2000; b) Morel et al. 1998; c) Kayser et al. 2000; d) Harr and Schlotterer 2000; e) Primmer et al. 1996; f) Rubinsztein Amos and Cooper, 1999; g) Xu et al. 2000; h) Ellegren 2000; i) Jones et al. 1999.
