[Genome] repeats in bosTau2.0 vs bosTau3.0

[João Fadista]

Hello,
 
I would like to ask you why do I get such a difference between the length of repeats in chr1 of the cow genome for the versions 2.0 and 3.0:
 
- In bosTau2.0 the length of chr1 is 102,834,029 bp with 36,085,051 bp of repeats (35.1%)
- In bosTau3.0 the length of chr1 is 146,199,855 bp with 65,482,014 bp of repeats (44.8%)
 
To retrieve the position of the repeats I used the group "Variation and Repeats" and the track "Repeat Masker".
 


Best regards
