Classification of noncentromeric S. stipitis repeats. (A) Schematics of noncentromeric retrotransposons identified in this study. For each transposon, the subclass, superfamily, and family is indicated. The organization of coding and noncoding sequences of each transposon is displayed. (B) Cladogram showing CTG(Ser1) clade species with known transposable elements (this study; see also references 18 and 34). The presence (V) or absence (X) of a TE is indicated. (C) Sequence alignment of telomeric terminal repeats in members of the CTG(Ser1) clade (C. lusitaniae, S. stipitis, L. elongisporus, C. albicans, and C. tropicalis) (this study; see also references 18 and 34). Consensus sequence to the S. cerevisiae telomeric repeats is indicated (magenta box). (D) Schematics of gene family members associated with S. stipitis subtelomeres (30 kb from chromosome end).
