  • (N.D.) Not determined.

  • Target-site duplication.

  • Nucleotide diversity. Only full-length LTRs used in this analysis. Titi not determined as there was just a single full-length example.

  • As estimated from sequence data in assembly 4. Numbers in parentheses indicate the copy number in a variety of strains as estimated by Southern blotting.

  • S. cerevisiae LTRs.
