Eight families of the TR found in WGS were combined in four superfamilies (A-D). Families are formed according to sequence similarity and/or position in the reference genome. Arrays - the number of TR arrays found in WGS; % of TR - percent of all TR found in WGS; Subfamilies - number of subfamilies in family. (*) - MaSat and MiSat position is determined by in situ data published; (D) - Tandem repeats related to transposable elements (TE); (MTA) - mouse transcript retrotransposon, (L1) - L1_MM.
