—Proportion of different repeat classes in sequenced diploid Oryza
genomes and L. perrieri. (A) The repeat annotation
was performed consistently across all assemblies and thus highlights actual
differences among assemblies. The greater number of repeats reflects the larger genome
size of O. officinalis. Copia,
Gypsy retroelements, and CACTA DNA-Ts appear to
have proliferated much more in the BB and CC genome types compared with other species.
(B) Simplified representation of different TE behaviors. TE family
gene trees are drawn (black lines) within a representative species tree (yellow
shadow), depicting the changes occurring to the type and abundance of TEs for each
family. Line thickness is a proxy of TE copy number, finely dashed lines are
dead/silenced lineages, and dashed lines represent a distantly related family. Stars
indicate TE burst, Xs TE inactivation, or loss. Each bifurcation represents the
origination of a different subfamily. Each panel I–V represents the pattern observed
in (C, I–V). (C) Examples of TE behavior across
multiple closely related species. (I) Subtree of the Copia retro
family, (II) subtree of the Gypsy Athila family, (III) subtree of the
Gypsy Atlantys family, (IV) subtree of a newly found
Cacta family, related to the known Eric and Grover elements, and
(V) subtree of the Mutator MuDR2 family.
