- Repeat content of different nematode genomes appears not to be directly correlated with genome size. Re-calculation in selected genomes shows little deviance from published data (in parentheses) ∗and thus indicates the validity of our inference for R. culicivorax.
- ∗For B. xylophilus and M. incognita only reference data is given as the same programs were used for initial inference (see references); A. suum not re-calculated.
- #M. incognita genome size given as 86Mbp in [24] has been re-estimated to about 150Mbp (E. Danchin pers. comm.).
- ‡Median lengths for A. suum and T. spiralis were calculated in this work as these data are not given in the cited publications.
