GS (10⁹ bps)	2.88	2.78	2.65	2.46	2.62	2.2	0.96	1.35	0.083
Num. of nodes	12,579	30,935	29,376	14,766	35,919	18,438	3,169	34,445	1,572
Num. of edges	37,319	42,643	443,916	166,145	183,618	62,308	17,102	601,289	2,199
Intra- (%)	19	46	7	8	24	7	36	9	37
Tandem (%)	6	25	2	2	10	3	8	1	17
f value	0.48	0.43	0.57	0.42	0.42	0.33	0.29	0.35	0.32

These include: genome size (GS) excluding sex chromosomes, number of nodes, number of edges, fraction of intrachromosomal edges and tandem edges among all edges of a network and regression-based predicted f values. An edge is denoted as tandem if both duplicated regions linked with the edge are located at the same chromosome at the distance <5∗10⁵ bps
