The Draft Genome and Transcriptome of the Atlantic Horseshoe Crab, Limulus polyphemus

Table 2

Comparison of Limulus mtDNA, JX983598.1 relative to NC_003057.1 using sites of polymorphic variance. Gene name is represented under locus. Size represents the length of the gene. Number of variable sites indicates the total number of nucleotides that differ between genomes. Number of substitutions is the combined number of transitions and transversions present at each locus. Number of frameshift mutations is the combined number of insertions and deletions present at each locus.
