Table 4 Number of windows in mouse genome at varying window sizes.

Window Size	20 Mb	10 Mb	5 Mb	2 Mb	1 Mb
Total windows	465	1912	3718	4897	24541
No annotated genes	0	0	0	237	2761
No conserved genes	0	22	244	1211	9505
No disease genes	2	92	634	2160	14598
No disease or conserved	0	16	166	987	8243

The number of windows with no annotations of genes, conserved genes, or disease orthologs is shown. Note that the bottom row shows the number of windows lacking both conserved and disease genes, which are a subset of the number of windows with either no disease genes or no conserved genes.
