Distribution of TCS genes between different gene organisations.

Orphans Paired Genes Triad Genes Tetrad Genes
Clusters: Numbers 16596 24380 2268 764
Percentage 37.7 55.4 5.2 1.7
Ratio 0.68 1.0 0.09 0.03
Foci: Numbers 17590 24042 1788 588
Percentage 40.0 54.6 4.1 1.3
Ratio 0.73 1.0 0.07 0.02

Genes are categorised into clusters of foci of size 1 (orphans), 2 (pairs), 3 (triads) and 4 (tetrads). See text for details. Ratios were calculated relative to the number of genes in pairs (the greatest values).
