^a Asymmetric genes include P/A, P/A_d and AL genes. The genes in unknown function, in single gene families and in non-clustered genes are equal to the total number of genes subtracts the genes in known function, in multigene families and in clustered genes, respectively.

^b The genes in the group of function known are determined by GO (gene ontology) classification.

^c The definition of multigene or clustered gene is described in Methods.

^d The symmetric genes between Nipponbare and 93-11 should be equal. However when an allele is a pseudogene, we still classify this gene into symmetric group because it has an allelic sequence. Therefore the numbers are not equal; the numbers in parentheses represent the P/A, P/A_d and AL genes identified by the first method (see Methods for details), respectively. Otherwise the numbers stand for the asymmetric genes identified by the second method.

^e ND, not determined by the incomplete genome sequences (mainly in 93-11).
