Figure 7

Distribution analysis of transposable elements in Entamoeba sp. A) Distribution of inter-repeat distances in E. histolytica (Eh, red), E. dispar (Ed, blue) and E. invadens (Ei, green). Mean and median values for each species are indicated by vertical lines. Distances were grouped using 100 bp bins. B) Diagram representing the number of simultaneous occurrences of all possible pairs of different repeats within repeat-clusters for each species. Line thickness connecting two different repeats is proportional to the number of times a repeat pair is part of a cluster C) Schematic diagram showing the association among Eh_SINE3/Ed_SINE1, LINE1 and ERE1 in E. histolytica and E. dispar. This three-component unit composed by LINE1, Ed_SINE1 and ERE1 is found amplified several times in E. dispar. GenBank accessions are indicated on the left of the figure. Numbers denote scaffold coordinates. Red boxes, Eh/Ed_LINE2; grey boxes, Eh/Ed_SINE2; yellow boxes, Eh_SINE3/Ed_SINE1; black boxes, Eh/Ed_LINE1; stripped boxes, Eh/Ed_ERE1.
