Thanks Björn. I think you are right. The Apis melliferas genome is far from finished. Probably the bigger repeats are not in the NCBI genome sequence.

Then only 2kb repeats remains... B On Fri, 11 Dec 2009 09:36:30 +0100 "Filip Van Nieuwerburgh" <Filip.VanNieuwerburgh@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > The biggest IDENTICAL repeat was 2205bp.
