  1. Kruskal-Wallis tests for equality of allelic richness partitioned by origin of genomic sequence. SSR sequence motif compares allelic richness of SSRs with different base composition; SSR ORF position compares allelic richness of SSRs located within versus those outside of ORFs; SSR motif size compares allelic richness among di-, tri-, and tetranucleotide SSRs. Allelic richness is unequally distributed only across SSR sequence motifs and only among dinucleotide repeats.
