Global repeat discovery and estimation of genomic copy number in a large, complex genome using a high-throughput 454 sequence survey

Table 1 Repetitive sequences in the soybean genome quantified using the difference between the contigs produced by an assembly algorithm with conservative parameters, and the predictions of the Lander-Waterman model for sampling a completely non-repetitive genome
