  1. The compared chromosomes and chromosome arms are listed on the first column. The following columns show the repeat content, expressed as the percentage of the total sequenced bases and the chromosome coverage calculated as the ratio between the available chromosome or chromosome arm length and the predicted one [74] using as input 454 or Illumina sequences. When data was obtained from literature, the references are cited.
