Additional File 1:

Total counts of repeats in the gene quintiles. Total counts of repeats in the gene quintiles (the columns numbered 1 to 5 correspond to the first, second, third, fourth and fifth quintile of the gene), the fractions of the repeat counts in the different quintiles and the deviation from the expectancy values (i.e., 20%).

Additional File 2:

Gene lists of the fungal species that have intragenic repeats 15 bp or longer. Gene lists of the fungal species that have intragenic repeats 15 bp or longer (Aspergillus flavus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, Candida guilliermondii, Debaryomyces hansenii, Pyrenophora tritici-repentis and Schizosaccharomyces japonicus yfs275 do not contain predicted genes with such long repeats). Since some genomes do not have unique gene identifiers, their names are complemented with the line number of the gene name in the original fasta file. Consecutive entries highlighted in green signify identical genes (a total of 4 are identified).
