a
Number of MCS analysed.
b
Total length of the analysed genomic sequences in kilobases.
c
Proportion % (actual number of MCS in parenthesis) of MCS per species that grouped into DNA families, based on similarities in their flanking regions as identified by the all-against-all BLASTn analysis.
d
Proportion (actual number of identified TEs in parenthesis) of MCS per species with homology to TEs as identified in the scan against Repbase.
e
GenBank accession numbers, with the source of previously published MCS indicated.
