The table was generated by scanning the reference haploid set of supercontigs for TRs and then examining polymorphisms at those locations. The size distribution of repeats in the reference haploid set is biased toward the larger allele because in the nearly homozygous regions, phrap generally reports the larger allele. The genome has additional VNTR loci where the allele in the reference haploid set was too small for inclusion in the table.
