Table 2, Large deficiencies. The table lists a set of large deficiencies, two for each chromosome. Approximate genetic extents have been inferred from genetic data. Physical sizes are estimated from the distance between the last sequence-positioned genes that are known to be deleted, at either end of each deficiency. Therefore, these sizes may be underestimates. Exact endpoints are known for few deficiencies. Also, some deficiencies may be discontinuous, and therefore remove less of the genome than their predicted length suggests - WormBook
