Comparison of identified LTR retrotransposons by our method and LTR_STRUC. (a) Venn diagram illustration of the comparison in C. elegans. Our method identified 23 out of 24 known elements, whereas LTR_STRUC identified 14. (b) Venn diagram illustration of the comparison in the D. melanogaster. Using only intact LTR retrotransposons, our method identified 418 out of 639 annotated elements, whereas LTR_STRUC identified 320. (c) Venn diagram illustration of the comparison in the D. melanogaster. Using both intact and solo LTR retrotransposons, our method identified 569 out of 639 annotated elements, whereas LTR_STRUC identified 320.
