Figure 4.

Sequence divergence distributions of repeats in the germline (red) and soma (green) of Mesocyclops edax. The y axis is the proportion of reads out of the total germline or somatic repeat dataset comprised of repeats of a given sequence divergence/age class, allowing comparisons of the distribution shapes between the two genomes. Sequence divergence distributions of both genomes are skewed towards younger (i.e. less divergent) elements. High proportions of repeats <1% diverged from the consensus demonstrate recent/ongoing repeat proliferation.
