Frequency distribution of TE sequence in bins of increasing divergence from the consensus sequence shown separately for autosomes (left), the Z Chromosome (middle), and W Chromosome (right). (A) Histogram of all annotated TEs; (B) all TE copies that show evidence for transcription in our population sample. Note the shift in abundance versus transcription for LTRs.
