Table 3 Orphan TAs

Arabidopsis vs Arabidopsis	Nb TAs	Nb TUs	Mean size of TU (bp)	Mean nb of TU
Orphan TAs	461	1504	1077	3.26
Other TA	1250	4068	2839	3.17

This table compares orphan TAs with other TAs in terms of their size (number of TUs and physical size). Orphan TAs tend have less and smaller TUs than the remaining TAs.
