  • To reinforce the similarity of both datasets, when sequences derived from both DNA sequencing methods (N = 1645) or sequences exclusively found by 454-pyrosequencing (N = 1202) were compared, we observe no significant differences in the frequency of homopolymers of all sizes (4 to 7 repeated bases).
