Expansion of LINE/RTE-BovB and LINE/L2 in Glyptosternon maculatum genome with tectonic movements and climate change during Qinghai-Tibet Plateau formation

A: Episodic bursts of RTE-BovB (red) and L2 (green) around ~30, ~20, and ~5-1 Mya after India-Eurasia collision, corresponding to Gangdese Movement and two uplift accelerations of QTP ~30 Mya (black dashed line). Recent burst is highlighted in red. Gray shows major tectonic movements. B: Global surface temperature (solid black line) and decrease in temperature per million years (dashed line) after plate collision. Data were collected from a previous paleoclimatology study (Zachos et al., 2001).
