MCScanX classify genes into five categories

1. singletons: genes without any duplicate

2. dispersed: duplicates occurring more than 10 genes apart or on different scaffolds

3. proximal: duplicates occurring on the same scaffold at most 10 genes apart

4. tandem: consecutive duplicates

5. segmental: block of at least five collinear genes separated by less than 25 genes missing on one of the duplicated regions.
