Figure 1. Mean tandem repeat number of microsatellite motifs in genomic DNA. Mean repeat numbers were determined for each di-, tri-, and tetranucleotide microsatellite containing a minimum of five perfect tandem repeats. Numbers for the entire genome were estimated from a survey of 444,970,789 base pairs (~25%) of the X. tropicalis genome. Only the four most prevalent motifs for each size class are shown. The AGAT tetranucleotide motif was significantly more common that other tetranucleotide motifs (p < 0.001). Similarly The AT dinucleotide motif was significantly more common that other dinucleotide motifs (p < 0.001). Standard errors are shown. Image published in: Xu Z et al.
