Amino acid repeat abundance in a vertebrate orthologous protein data set. The horizontal axis represents the average number of amino acid tandem repeats of size 4 or longer per 1000 amino acids, in a data set of 6477 one-to-one orthologous proteins. The values inside the bars indicate the total number of amino acid repeats in each species.
