For each organism, RepeatMasker was run using (i) cross_match with consensus sequences from the Repbase-derived RepeatMasker library and (ii) nhmmer with Dfam2. Interspersed repeats are shown separately, while the all repeats count also includes locally repetitive satellites and short tandem repeats.
