*The sum of “Fraction of the Human Genome (%)” totals more than 100% because mobile DNA elements are counted twice: once to show the different classes of human mobile DNA elements; and second as part of the intergenic regions and protein coding genes where they are located in introns and 3′ untranslated regions of terminal exons.
**Complete transcription units including exons and introns.
† Total length of all exons. Protein-coding regions total 1.2 percent of the genome.
‡ Length of each repeat in a tandemly repeated sequence.
