Fig. 4

a Fraction of subgenome-homoeologous and -specific TFBSs embedded in TEs within open chromatin regions characterized by DHS. The TFs with more than 100 subgenome-homoeologous and -specific TFBSs within the DHS are presented. b Enriched TE subfamilies harboring subgenome-specific TFBSs, with the fraction of each TE subfamily across the genome as the background. c Relative abundance of TE subfamilies across subgenomes. The most enriched TEs in Fig. 4b are highlighted. d, Dendrogram presenting the sequence similarity of the full-length RLG_famc7.3 members. e Dendrogram presenting the sequence similarity of the full-length RLG_famc13 members. f. Age distribution of TEs enriched in the TFBSs determined according to the sequence similarity of the LTR at both ends. We corrected the K2P distance distribution by using the known evolutionary history as a reference: age = distance/(2× mutation rate), with a mutation rate of 1.3 × 10−8 as previously described10. The two-tailed Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare the LTR distance of different groups. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
