Satellite length as a function of repeat size in Methanosarcina. All 1908 satellites found are represented. Fragments of genes coding for three types of amino acid repeats in proteins are found in the groups around 69, 100–150 and 260 repeat size, as discussed in the text. A large number of satellites related to microsatellites are apparent near the origin of the plot
