Table 4. Conservation of repetitive DNA.

Repeat Group Number of Repeats Total Length of Repeats Total Number of Conserved Bases As a Percentage
Eulor 1,581 214,392 130,210 60.73%
UCONS 3,281 508,818 262,553 51.60%
MER 1,686 225,328 127,573 56.62%
X*-LINE 876 125,896 63,185 50.19%
SINE 2,900 413,703 166,890 40.34%

Listed are the numbers of repeats and their conservation for the most conserved repeats.

GERP constrained elements were used to define the set of conserved bases.
