| ⩾100 | 41 | 14 (34) | 2.30 |
| 50–100 | 46 | 5 (11) | 1.47 |
| 40–50 | 87 | 5 (6) | 1.34 |
| 30–40 | 165 | 8 (5) | 1.35 |
| 20–30 | 87 | 1 (1) | 0.46 |
[i] Sequences were derived from GenBank release 98 (December 1996) by selecting all human genomic sequences at least 20 kb in length and excluding those that were mitochondrial, single-pass genome survey sequences (GSS division), or unfinished sequence data (HTGS_PHASE1 or HTGS_PHASE2 keywords).
