A schematic representation of the method used in this study to find novel SINEs from genomic sequences of the coelacanth. This algorithm consists of the following five steps: (1) detection of the Box B-like sequence; (2) extraction of their flanking sequences (exemplified as Seq1–8); (3) BLAST search for homology among one another to find similar sequences; (4) collection of sequences that are recognized as similar to each other (E-value <10−50); (5) alignment of the sequences within each group.
