Additional data file 5:
Adjusted p-values from all pairwise t-tests comparing the transformed proportion of sequence in each repeat class between each species for (a) the 19 genes and regions shown in Additional data file 4 and (b) throughout the entire genome. The Holm method of correction for multiple testing was used [25]. Significant results are underlined.
