Syntenic blocks are divided and aligned based on the order of chromosomes in Hermetia illucens. The species tree was rooted using outgroup Drosophila melanogaster, which is not shown in the tree. Barplots at the bottom of species names represent the proportion of different types of transposable elements on the genome. Simple repeats, microsatellites and repeat RNAs were combined as “Other” in the barplots. Stratiomyidae and Asilidae families were marked with green and orange branch colors in the phylogeny, respectively. The species tree was calibrated based on estimated divergence time between Drosophila melanogaster and Stratiomyidae (MYA) (Wiegmann et al. 2011).
