Diagrams of scaffolds containing head-to-tail arrays of telomeric retrotransposons from D. ananassae, D. persimilis, D. mojavensis, D. virilis, and D. grimshawi. The putative origin of each scaffold appears between brackets. The color code for TRs, HTRs, TAS, and euchromatin is indicated in boxes. In the euchromatin regions a distal gene is indicated. Ns indicates the presence of unsequenced regions.
