Characteristics of Repeat Families Used in Calculation

Name	Bases (L _i )	Segments (R _i )	Average percent similarity (1 − ɛ ^{^*} _i,family )
ALU	340	1 × 10⁶	85
LINE	5,000	100,000	85
LG1[i]	10,000	1,000	90
LG2[i]	100,000	20	90

[i] LG1 and LG2 are hypothetical families used to simulate long, low-copy repeats.
