Number of PALs (potentially amplifiable loci) for each of ten hardwood tree species.

<p>Hundreds to thousands of PALs were identified for each species sequenced. For all species the most commonly identified repeat motif was 2 bases, followed by 3 base motifs. Reptitive motifs of 4 bases were found the least often.</p

Identified repetitive elements and genes in genomic reads.

<p>The percent of reconstructed fragments with sequence similarity to known plant repetitive elements and gene sequences vary across species. The majority of identified repetitive elements originate from the retrotransposon classes of Gypsy and Copia.</p
