From: RepeatAnalyzer: a tool for analysing and managing short-sequence repeat data

Metric Name

Formula

Significance

GD2

\( \left(\frac{Total\ \#\ Unique\ SSRs}{\# Strains}\right)\times 100 \)

Defined in [31]

GD2b

\( \frac{Total\ \#\ Unique\ SSRs}{\#\ Genotypes} \)

Modified version of GD2, calculable in RepeatAnalyzer

GDM1-Local

\( Avg\left(\frac{\#\ Unique\ SSRs\ in\ Genotype\ i}{Length\left( Genotype\ i\right)}\right) \)

Ratio of unique repeats in each strain in the region

GDM1-Global

\( \frac{Total\ \#\ Unique\ SSRs}{Total\ Length\left( All\ Genotypes\right)} \)

Ratio of unique repeats across the region as a whole

GDM2-Local

\( Avg\left( Deviation\left(\frac{Frequency\left(SSR\ i\ in\ Genotype\ j\right)}{Length\left( Genotype\ j\right)}\right)\right) \)

Variation in how often repeats occur within strains in the region

GDM2-Global

\( Deviation\left(\frac{Frequency\left(SSR\ i\right)}{Total\ Length\left( All\ Genotypes\right)}\right) \)

Variation in how often repeats occur in the region as a whole

  1. Length(Genotype) = the number of SSRs in that genotype
