Correlations between proportions of the genome comprised of TEs and TE mutation rates.

Proportions (top) of different TE types in the genome estimated using the read-mapping approach as they correlated with rates of gain, loss, and net rates for TE mutations. Mutation rates (bottom) for other mutation types as they correlate with TE mutation rates (different subsets shown). Base substitution rates (per nucleotide per generation), gene conversion rates (per heterozygous site per generation) and microsatellite mutation rates (absolute value of the mutation rate per copy per generation and net copy number change per copy per generation) are from Ho et al. (2019, 2020). (XLSX)
