TE distribution in S. oryzae’s genome. A Density of TE copies within gene regions. TE copies are the least abundant within TSSs, 5′ and 3′ UTRs and exons, while introns and intergenic regions are riddled with TEs. TSS: transcription start site, UTR: untranslated regions. B Relationship between intron length and TE per intron in D. melanogaster (red), H. sapiens (blue), and S. oryzae (yellow). S. oryzae shares characteristics of both Drosophila with short and TE-poor introns and Humans with a significant number of large, TE-packed introns
