a Comparison of the occurrence and composition of repetitive elements in the genomes of 7 echinoderms. b Comparison of the proportion of repetitive elements, retrotransposon, and long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs) in the genomes of 7 echinoderms. The proportions of repetitive elements and LINEs are higher in the genome of C. heheva than that in other echinoderms. c Transposable element-accumulation profile in C. heheva genome. A recent burst of LINEs was observed in C. heheva.
