Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree of the ClustalWalignment of LTR retrotransposon nucleotide sequences. This tree indicates the high level of sequence homology within a family of elements. For clarity, the element families are listed once with the number of elements in each family in parentheses. Unclassified elements are identified by the accession number in which they are located.
