Annotating TEs in arthropods. (a) The TE reference construction workflow (see details in Materials and Methods). (b) The repeat sizes of fourteen arthropods. Published repeat sizes were adapted from the original genome sequencing studies (Table S1). The repeat sizes (TE and simple repeat) of this study were evaluated using the TE libraries defined in this study. The published repeat size of B. mor was adapted from [11]. D. mel, Drosophila melanogaster; B. mor, Bombyx mori; M. cin, Melitaea cinxia; P. xut, Papilio xuthus; S. fru, Spodoptera frugiperda; A. cer, Apis cerana; A. mel, Apis mellifera; B. ter, Bombus terrestris; N. lug, Nilaparvata lugens; A. pis, Acyrthosiphon pisum; L. mig, Locusta migratoria; A. gen, Acanthoscurria geniculata; M. mar, Mesobuthus martensii; T. urt, Tetranychus urticae. (c) The landscape of TE loads in arthropods.
