Novel repeats or transposable elements found to be unique to each species.
Species | Novel element name | Novel element location(s) | Consensus length | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
D. virilis | rnd-1_family-95# LTR/Gypsy | Unplaced contigs tig00001890, tig00002154 | 11505 bp (mix of 1132 bp and 820 bp monomers) | Structured as a complex tandem repeat (the 820 bp monomer has an internal deletion compared to the 1132 bp monomer); homology to Gypsy is minimal. |
D. virilis | rnd-1_family-144#LINE/I-Jockey | Unplaced contigs tig00001890, tig00001978, tig00002154, tig00002244, tig00003829, tig00003830 | 4834 bp | Highly similar to Repbase sequence HeT-A3_DVi, which covers 84% of the sequence at 99% identity. A gag domain is identifiable. |
D. novamexicana | rnd-1_family-329#Unknown | Present on all Muller elements and a few unplaced contigs | 346 bp | No conserved domains identifiable, no TSD identified from REPCLASS. |
D. Americana | rnd-1_family-159#Unknown | Y contig tig00002773 | 767 bp | Likely the same element as below: overlaps 77 bp with below sequence and found in tandem with it. |
D. Americana | rnd-1_family-109#DNA/hAT-Ac | Y contig tig00002773 | 421 bp |
