The most abundant repeat sequences in the P. monodon genome are (AG n and (CAT n making up to 22% and 21%, respectively.
Repetitive sequences are dispersed and can amount to nearly half of the genome, and ALU sequences are the most abundant repeat elements and reside mainly within introns (Batzer and Deininger, 2002; Chen and Sarnow, 1995; Price et al., 2004; Waterston et al., 2002).
4,867 (∼40%) MRIs mapped to regions that contain repeat sequences, and the most abundant repeat sequences were SINEs, simple repeats, LINEs and LTRs (Figure 3C left panel).
Macroarray analysis using the retrotransposon IFG-7 (the most abundant repeat in the sequenced BAC) as a probe indicates that IFG-7 is found in roughly 210,557 copies and constitutes about 5.8% or 1.26 Gb of LP nuclear DNA; this DNA quantity is eight times the Arabidopsis genome.
Pentanucleotides were the most abundant repeat type in the S. aurantii sample (Fig. 1).
As in our DMRs, SINEs were the most abundant repeat family in ZNF263 binding regions.
Di-nucleotides were the most abundant repeat motif (65.1%) followed by tetra-nucleotides (10.3%) (Table 2).
Trimers were the most abundant repeat motif accounting for 4,196 (47.6%) of the SSRs.
The most abundant repeat type was AG/CT, followed by AAG/CTT, and AAAT/ATTT.
Details regarding the most abundant repeat families are reported in table 1.
The most abundant repeat types were dinucleotides followed by trinucleotides (Table 4).
