Figure 6.

Dot plot matrices of IGS sequences of six Dipteran insect species revealing different sizes of subrepeats. Symmetric lines forming a square box along the central diagonal indicate presence of a subrepeat. The size of the square dictates the size of the subrepeat. Dot plots were generated using the Dotlet program⁴⁴ with an 11-bp sliding window. Symmetric dots or lines along the diagonal represent the repeat number and length. GenBank accession numbers for IGS sequences used for the plot were AF004986 (Ae. aegypti), AGU10135 (An. gambiae), AF498237 (An. sinensis), M65063 (Ae. albopictus), L17048 (D. funebris), and GU911335 (Cx. p. quinquefasciatus).
