Deep landscape update of dispersed and tandem repeats in the genome model of the red jungle fowl, Gallus gallus, using a series of de novo investigating tools

Table 3 Number and diversity of simple sequences repeats (SSRs) in Galgal4

SSRs type		Number of arrays	Number of different repeated units^a	% coverage in galGal4
Simple Repeat (stretches of A or T, and C or G)^b		204434	2	PolyA : 0.355 PolyC : 0.022
Microsatellite [2–10] bp^{b, c}		770202	2101	2.189
Minisatellite [11–60]bp^{b, c}		12310	123	1.273
Tandem arrays [>60] bp^d	Large tandem repeats	6	6	0.003
Tandem arrays [>60] bp^d	Satellite DNAs	10136	9987	0.238

^athe threshold used to gather two repeated unit is a sequence similarity of 100 %; ^bthe minimal size for an array is 50 repeated units; ^cbetween brackets are indicated the size of the repeated unit of each SSR type; ^dthe minimal size for an array is 2 to 50 repeated units of large tandem repeats et 51 to ∞ for a satellite DNA
