Dot plot analyses of the VANC proteins. a Comparison of amino-acid sequences of the VANC proteins. Homologous regions were plotted with dotmatcher program (window size: 10, threshold: 23). Amino-acid sequences (Nʹ–Cʹ) were ordered from top to bottom and left to right. Scale bar for 200 a.a. was shown in the right of plots. Two domains (DUF1985 and DUF287) are shown by shaded and filled areas, respectively. VANA (transposase), another protein encoded in these VANDAL members, is much more conserved (Supplementary Fig. 10). b Comparison of the nucleotide sequences of VANC genes. VANC genes were plotted with YASS program under default parameters⁵². DNA sequences are ordered from top to bottom and left to right. Gray boxes indicate exons. Divergence between these VANDAL families as well as divergence between the VANDAL copies in A. thaliana and A. lyrata is shown in Supplementary Tables 3, 4 and Supplementary Fig. 14
