*These contigs from the W chromosome contained TEs and generated a large amount of small RNAs around the TEs, which might be related with the transcription of the TEs.

**Total reads of TE-derived small RNAs are shown in parenthesis.

§TEs have been divided into two classes based on their transposition intermediate. Class I TEs use an RNA-mediated mode of transposition and are further divided into two subclasses, including LTR and non-LTR retrotransposons. Non-LTR retrotransposons are also called LINEs (long interspersed nuclear elements) and SINEs (short interspersed nuclear elements). Class II TEs use a DNA-mediated mode of "cut and paste" transposition. In Bombyx mori, many TEs have been identified, such as bm447, bm1770, bm1645 and SART1 [69].
