Evolutionary dynamics of the LTR retrotransposons roo and rooA inferred from twelve complete Drosophila genomes

Table 1 Element distribution and insertion time

For each genome (column 1 from the left), column 2 shows the total number of identified roo elements, with the number of functional copies after the slash. Column 3 shows the number of identified solo-LTRs, which have a similarity of at least 70 percent and a length difference of less than 10 percent to a roo LTR sequence. The calculation of the average insertion time (column 4) is based on the divergence between the two LTR sequences of every element. Columns 5–7 represent the same data for the rooA element; myr: million years; func: functional;
