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.
