Frequency spectrum of TE insertions across nine strains of D. melanogaster

Among the 5408 TEs annotated in the reference genome (FlyBase R5.13), 344 TE insertions mapped on multiple locations and 835 insertions that have putatively homologous sequences in D. simulans were excluded. Frequency 0 means the TE insertion was only detected in the reference genome but in none of the nine strains surveyed. Frequencies 1–5 mean that the TE insertions exist in one to five out of the nine strains surveyed. No TE insertions were detected in more than six out of the nine strains.
