Genetic Species and Number of Elements

• External Dataset S1. Count of genetic elements per chromosome. Each excel file contains the count of genetic elements for all chromosomes of the corresponding species. Genetic elements are divided in functional and non-functional categories.

Randomization of genomic elements in chromosomes

• External Dataset S2. 

  Statistics relative to even abundance of genetic elements in chromosomes: rsa_chroms_stats.xls

• External Dataset S3. Relative species abundance curves for each chromosome of each species. Orange and grey lines display observed and simulated RSA curves for all functional and non-functional genetic classes in chromosomes respectively. Black dashed lines show two standard deviations around the mean of the simulated data. The absence of statistical differences between RSA curves (see in headers the result of Kolmogorov-Smirnov test) is mainly due to the frequent counterbalanced changes observed in the ranking of abundances of genetic classes. Abscissa represents the rank of a given genetic element corresponding tips show the name of the observed and expected genetic element. Differences between observed and expected ranks are also pointed out by light grey dashed lines.
