D.mel: Drosophila melanogaster, H.inf: Haemophilus influenza, T.bru: Trypanosoma brucei, H.sap: Homo sapiens, E.coli: Escherichia coli, C.ele: Caenorhabditis elegans; GenBank: GenBank accession number; GC: percentage of GC contents reported by Tandem repeats finder (v4.40, http://tandem.bu.edu/trf/trf.html). H.inf and E.coli are the complete genomes. For clarity, H.sap-1 was used to refer to NT_037622, H.sap-2 was NT_007819 and H.sap-3 was NT_005612.
