The RAC‐like subfamily of copia retrotransposons is common in soybean and other legumes. (a) Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree of RAC‐like element nucleotide sequences from soybean. The top hit from each soybean chromosome was included, as was the known soybean retrotransposon “TGMR” and the top RAC‐like match from Phaseolus (common bean). (b) Similar to A; a maximum likelihood tree, but using the RAC‐encoded polyprotein sequences from the four most similar soybean RAC‐like elements, and the most similar element matches from the indicated plant species
