Abundance orA repeats was similar to C repeats. AC was a little more than two times as abundant much as AG. However, AT and CG repeats were rare. For tri- and tetramer repeats, AGC, AAAC and AAAT predominated while ACG, ACT, AGG, CCG, ATGC, CCCG, ACTG, AACT, ACGT, AGAT, CCGG, ACCT and AGCT were rare. For some pentamer repeats, one was completely absent on a certain chromosome, even on several chromosomes.
对按蚊基因组中微卫星丰度而言,A碱基和C碱基重复在基因组中丰度相似,AC单元的丰度是AG单元的两倍多,然而AT和CG单元非常稀少;对于三四碱基而言,AGC,AAAC和AAAT单元最为丰富,ACG,ACT,AGG,CCG,ATGC,CCCG,ACTG,AACT,ACGT,AGAT,CCGG,ACCT和AGCT单元等均很稀少,而一些五碱基重复,在某条甚至某几条染色体中均未分布。
