Kendall’s rank correlation coefficients for different genome features and TE categories. Partial correlations were performed on (i) all TEs, (ii) ancient TE insertions and (iii) recent TE insertions. Significant values are highlighted in bold (p ≤ 0.05 = *, p ≤ 0.01 = **, p ≤ 0.001 = *** and p ≤ 0.0001 = ****), per genomic feature a Bonferroni correction was applied to account for multiple testing.

	GC	CpG	Gene	Rec.rate
All TEs	0.08****	0.01	− 0.08****	− 0.12****
Ancient	0.09****	− 0.03**	− 0.07****	− 0.02*
Recent	− 0.01	0.05***	− 0.08****	− 0.09****

Significant are in value [bold].
