Betti numbers of moduli spaces of smooth Riemann surfaces

Where can I find a list of the known Betti numbers of the moduli spaces $\mathcal{M}_{g,n}$ of genus $g$ Riemann surfaces with $n$ marked points? I need it to cross check results by an implemented algorithm which should be producing them using Kontevich's graph complex.

I am interested in the "open" moduli space consisting of smooth connected surfaces, not in its Deligne-Mumford compactification $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$. Also, I'm interested in the single Betti numbers and not in the Euler characteristic, which I know from e.g. Harar-Zagier and Bini-Gaiffi-Polito, and which I used to have a first check of the results of the algorithm.

Thanks.

Edit: Riccardo Murri's paper with the algorithm and its implementation has now appeared on arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/1202.1820
