From: Genomic leftovers: identifying novel microsatellites, over-represented motifs and functional elements in the human genome

Figure 1

Frequency of MSTs motif classes in unmapped reads relative to those found in the reference genome (HG19) and the whole genome.

The majority of novel microsatellite loci captured using our method contained pentameric repeats. For comparison, most loci found in the reference genome are not pentameric; and analysis of whole genome data confirms that much of the missing genome is associated with pentamer repeat regions.
