*Open circles ‘○’ indicate the presence of the gene. When there is more than one FLREV lineage in a genome, their genomic structures were annotated separately. NviFLERV, AciFLERV, AliFLERV, CoeEFV and DrFV-1 protein sequences were used as probes.

We identified only one accessory gene (acc) in salamander FLERVs (see also Fig. 2); therefore it is unclear whether it is acc1 or acc2.

Two copies of acc1 genes were found in the FLERV, annotated as acc1a and acc1b (see Fig. 2).
