Schematic representations of a subset of the retrocopies identified. (A) CG17604_r in D. melanogaster. (B) CG4799_CG11924_r in D. melanogaster. (C) ENSANGG00000011308 in mosquito. (D) ENSMUSG00000083549 in mouse. LTR retrotransposons and retrocopies are marked in gray and blue, respectively. Microsimilarity stretches are marked in yellow, and de novo sequence insertions in green. The red line in A marks the “TAAAAAACAAGC-GGTTG” motif. (CDS) coding sequences; (UTR) untranslated regions.
