Whole-genome in-silico subtractive hybridization (WISH) - using massive sequencing for the identification of unique and repetitive sex-specific sequences: the example of Schistosoma mansoni

Table 1 Name and number of female and male hits and length of the selected repeats.

repeat	% of total hits on female	Length (bp)	GenBank acc.nr.
W1	100.00	482	[J04665.1]
R = 407.2	100.00	711	[GU562605]
W2	100.00	715	[U10109.1]
TR266	99.97	267	[GU562608]
R = 879	99.91	654	[GU562606]
Sm_alphafem1	99.86	338	[U12442.1]
R = 564	99.27	1129	[GU562607]

Repeats were considered as female (W) specific if at least five hits occurred and if at least 99% of the total hits occurred in the female genome. %female = (number of hits obtained with SOAP for the female genome * 100/number of hits obtained with SOAP for the female genome + number of hits obtained with SOAP for the male genome)
