Figure 5. The non-Dpp constrained NEEs at rho and vein are rapidly diverging via MSR mutagenesis in the Hawaiian lineages.

Figure 5

Shown is a sequence alignment for the vn (top) and rho (bottom) NEEs highlighted to show MSR content (green letters with squiggly underline). The motif coloring follows previous figures. Due to multiple insertions and deletions, these homologous sequences depicted are of different lengths. Numbers indicate the presence of novel MSR sequences present only in Hawaiians (the octapeptide 2x repeat at #1), present only in Hawaiians but still diverging (5 to 13 repeats of CA-microsatellite at #2), sites of MSR repeats of different types at the same position and present only in the DROSOPHILA subgenus (#3) or across the entire genus (#4), and repeats of made of smaller repeats and seen only in Hawaiian species (#5). In addition, other divergent repeat content that is not highlighted by the strict MSR algorithm can also be seen (see Material & Methods).
