Table 1 HIVE-CUT database size and statistics

Measure	GenBank	RefSeq	Total
Number of tables	781,595	73,817	855,412
Number of species	665,044	37,904	689,420
Genomic tables	353,423	73,553	426,976
Mitochondrial tables	316,820	220	317,040
All plastid tables	111,352	44	111,396
Total number of sequences	34,885,329	253,803,831	288,689,160

This table contains statistics on the data in the database. While the GenBank division contains a much larger number of tables, the number of sequences in each table on average is much higher in RefSeq. The structure of RefSeq assemblies makes them a better representation of genomic codon usage for an organism when available. The HIVE-CUTs database contains substantially more entries than other codon usage databases
