Figure 2. Transposition in transposition (TinT) patterns of TINEs and SINEs over time.

Figure 2

(a) Old LINE (L1) elements are displayed in dark green, younger L1s in light green. The TINEs and their proposed LTR_77_TS source gene are depicted in blue. The period of maximal activity is indicated as a central vertical line within the coloured ovals. The flanking vertical lines represent the 75th percentile of the activity range; the terminal lines show the 99th percentile range of activity. The timescale runs from left to right. (b) Transposition in Transposition (TinT) pattern of SINE elements, including mammalian-wide interspersed repeats (MIRs; grey), the primate-specific AluJb and AluJo (dark red), and the tarsier-specific Alu1-3_TS elements (red). The period of maximal activity is indicated as a central vertical line in the coloured ovals. The flanking vertical lines represent the activity within the 75th percentile range; the terminal lines represent the 99th percentile intervals. The corresponding cumulative likelihoods of element family activity are given as thumbnails in the insets.
