  1. 1 N = A/T/C/G; W = A/T; D = A/T/G. 2 No. FC means the number of fragmentary copies. 3No.FLC indicates the number of full length copies, the number of the bracket is the ratios of full length copies in total of each MITE family. 4-ΔG means the average negative ΔG(kcal/mol) value of each MITE family. 5Hoshidandy was referred to the accession No. AB455941 in NCBI. 6Organdy was first discovered in silkworm by Komoto et al. [26]. MITE families were classified based on TIR, TSD and internal sequences.
