One possible explanation of the null hypothesis above is that removal of only one or a subset of a repeated sequence could theoretically preserve phenotypic functioning on the assumption that one such sequence is sufficient and the repetitions are superfluous to essential life processes ; it was not specified in the paper whether the eliminated sequences were repeated sequences .

The paper did not report whether the eliminated sequences were repeated sequences .
