  • c Only the sum, 0.18, was estimated. (AR) Ancient repeats; (Exon) conserved exons; (Rodent) rodent DNA that aligns to gaps in human. (th, tm, tr) Human, mouse, and rat branch length (Fig. 1), measured in average number of substitutions per site. The ratios are not exactly equal to the reported values because of rounding in the branch lengths
