  1. aputative autonomous copies are those containing the tree expected ORFs plus direct repeats
  2. bidentity was estimated only for regions with confident alignment. The number of sequences and the size of alignment is shown in parenthesis
  3. cthe pattern of repeats is distinct than expected and the distance from the end of the ORF and the next repeat is quite large and unexpected. Thus, it is not possible to state whether this repetition is indeed part of the element
