^aThe interspersed AT-rich blocks were identified by having AT contents ≥6% higher than that of average DNA in each fungal genome
^bIn Saccharomyces cerevisiae, AT-rich blocks (almost all ≤3 kb) are known to be well correlated with the intergenic regions that bind to the sister chromatin cohesion complexes. There are no or only a few longer AT-rich blocks (≥3 kb) in the genomes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Candida glabrata, Ustilago maydis, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Coprinopsis cinerea
