Figure 2: Characterization of copia and gypsy TEs in the G. hirsutum genome.
(a) Statistics for these two types of TEs present in the Dt (left half) and At (right half) subgenomes. The outer circle shows the percent coverage of copia (green histogram) and gypsy (purple histogram) in nonoverlapping windows (window size = 500 kb). The following two inner circles indicate the copia and gypsy transcript levels, which were estimated by averaging values of reads (log10) from different tissues in nonoverlapping 500-kb windows. The links in the center indicate collinearity between At and Dt subgenomes. Only syntenic blocks of >1 Mb in length are shown. (b) Estimated insertion time for copia and gypsy LTR retrotransposons. (c) Distances from individual TEs to their nearest gene.
