Table 5.
Recalculation of reads with short tandem motifs in 10 million reads per sample in A. cepa and A. sativum and 20 million reads per sample in A. ursinum. The left part of this table is the calculation to a hypothetical genomic proportion, a relative, and absolute DNA content. The right part compares categories of well-known objects.
