The assayed accessions' genome sizes modeled as the sum of a basal genome plus repeats. The assayed accessions' genome sizes modeled as the sum of a 108 Mbp sequenced basal genome plus four major repeats which vary in size among the accessions. As the absolute size of these repeats is not known we fit them to three possible totals for the A. thaliana genome. The model is detailed in the Methods section. (A) The modeled size of the repeats in the sequenced genome of Col-0 is given for each of these, along with measures of agreement between the modeled genome sizes and those determined with flow cytometry. Published estimates for the size of each repeat in Col-0 are listed in the bottom row. (B) Best overall fit of modeled genome size versus the measured genome size for each individual, a 145 Mbp Col-0 genome, using all measurements. The line of perfect agreement between the modeled and measured genomes is drawn.
