  1. Chi-square goodness-of-fit tests showing comparison of observed distribution of SSR motif types to the posterior probability distribution. Tests are partitioned by genomic library and size of repeat motif (i.e. dinucleotide and trinucleotide, di and tri, respectively). X2 = chi-square statistic; df = degrees of freedom. All SSRs were non-randomly distributed across sequence motif types.
