TR-containing proteins from N. vectensis. Graphical representation of two TR-containing proteins: A7SW76 and A7S5V7 (UniProt). Proteins contain TR with a unit length of 49 amino acids (yellow, TR-unit). This TR-unit appears twice on A7SW76, while the other two TR-units are unique to A7SW76. These TR-units are of length 7 and 21 amino acids (blue and green), respectively. For consistency, we count the number of unique TRs in a genome (i.e. unique non-overlapping sequences that fulfill the TR definition). TR-proteins sum all proteins that contain at least one TR-segment (TR-segment, TR-seg). The minimal TR-segment is composed of at least 3 successive TR-units. (B) Statistical comparison of N. vectensis and D. melanogaster TR-proteomes.
