  1. Only the motifs present in at least an (almost) entire allelic family are presented; some less common motifs are presented in the text. The ambiguity code symbols are: R = A/G, Y = C/T, K = G/T, M = A/C, S = G/C, W = A/T, N = A/C/G/T.
  2. amotif ± 1 bp
  3. b motif in non-coding strand corresponding to these bases in the coding strand.
