* Tract length from accession number CM000776 [32].
† Range is the range of repeat copy number observed in the sequence read data (see Additional Files 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29).
‡ Frame is the number of amino acids after the homopolymeric tract before the termination codon; bold is the annotated C-terminus.
