Abundance and transcription of TEs annotated in the hooded crow reference genome shown by chromosomal class and by TE type (LTRs, blue; LINEs, orange; SINEs, yellow; DNA transposons, gray; other TEs, light purple). (A) TE content expressed as the proportion of TE sequence relative to total sequence length. (B) Proportion of transcribed TEs relative to the total number of TE copies. (A) Autosomes; (Z) Z Chromosome; (W) W Chromosome.
