Table 1

Solo loci represent segmental duplications where the next nearest neighboring duplication is located >5 kb or >50 kb. Duplication hubs are defined as regions where multiple pairwise alignments map and the total number of aligned basepairs exceeds 100 kb. The table compares the number of nonredundant basepairs and the number of alignments. Both gaps and common repeat sequences were excluded from this analysis.
