Hi,

How were the divergence numbers (milliDiv, milliDel, milliIns in the
following table) for the repetitive elements generated? Can we assume
the milliDiv is the "sum" of milliDel and milliIns? If yes, why some
elements showed milliDiv>0 when both milliDel and milliIns are equal to
0 in the example below?

Thanks,

C.Q.
