^b. Percentage of active genes in subtelomeric regions.
^c. Number of pseudogenes without annotated functional paralog in the genome.
^d. Number of pseudogenes with annotated functional paralog whose closest homolog is in the same genome (in) or in another genome (out).
*. Species for which all chromosomes are fully sequenced, including their telomeric repeats.
