ZNF copy number correlates with genomic TE content. (A) Spearman's rank correlations between the estimated number of retroelement insertions and ZNF ORFs. Each point is a representative species from a taxonomic family. Subplots on the right show correlations for individual phyla. (B) Uncorrected Spearman's rank correlation between TE content and FZNF copy number in cyprinid fish. (C) Spearman's rank correlation on phylogenetically independent contrasts.
