Analysis of CR1 Repeats in the Zebra Finch Genome

Most bird species have smaller genomes and fewer repeats than mammals. Chicken Repeat 1 (CR1) repeat is one of the most abundant families of repeats, ranging from ~133,000 to ~187,000 copies accounting for ~50 to ~80% of the interspersed repeats in the zebra finch and chicken genomes, respectively....
