Classification of genes containing species-specific repeats

Gene class	Number of repeats contained in the gene	Gene class	Number of repeats contained in the gene
Hypothetical protein	8264	Kinase	497
Transport protein	1711	ATP-dependent protein	453
Pseudogene	1212	Transcriptional regulator	431
Membrane protein	656	Synthetase	337
Hydrogenase	603	Bacterial chemotaxis	272
Repeat containing protein	548	Hydrolase	254
Synthase	504

The number shows how many repeats are overlapping the gene by at least 50% of the length of a given repeat. The total number of repeats overlapping gene sequences is 18 961, of which 15 742 repeats are shown in this table.
